Note: There are 2 different ways you can play this, to get the sound
of the actual recording. Without capo, or with the 3rd fret capo'd.
I have included both.

(F) Somebody says, and (C) by the way, where's Connie
(Bb) She's run off with that (C) boy to Cancun

She lives in (F) L.A.

That (Bb) woman's been around the (F) world
You can take the girl out of the (C) honky tonk
But, you (Bb) can't take the honky tonk
Take the honky tonk
Out of the (F) girl
