C                     G
I could live my whole life
Am              Em
Without a phone call
    F              C       G
The likes of which I got today
C              G
It was only my wife 
     Am            Em
Said hello then goodbye 
     F            G       C  G
And told me she's going away
C         G
I didn't cry
       Am          Em
It was all cut and dry
   F             C      G
I hung up before I realized
  C            G
I turned up my stereo
   Am            Em
I walked to the window
    F             G               C
And stared at the storm clouds outside
C                G     Am           Em
I play classical music when it rains
       F            C        G
I play country when I am in pain
   F         C          E7                        Am    G  F
I won't play Beethoven, cause the mood's just not right
  C              G           C     G   Am  Em  F G C G
I feel like Hank Williams tonight
C                 G 
There's no explanation
    Am         Em
Not even a reason
F              C             G
No talk of the good times we had
       C          G
Was it Me was it her
Am               Em
I don't know for sure
F              G          C   G
That's why I'm feeling so bad
C           G        Am       Em
I play jazz when I am confused
       F        C          G
I play country whenever I lose
    F          C
But Bird's saxophone
E7               Am  G F
Just won't sound right
  C              G            C   G  Am Em F G C G
I feel like Hank Williams tonight
C                G
Lately I've been thinkin
  Am              Em
I just might quit drinkin
F           C           G 
Now I don't know all in all
C                 G
I just might stay home 
Am                Em
And get drunk all alone
F               G             C   G
And punch a few holes in the wall
C                    G             Am    Em
When I'm real high I play rock and roll
       F            C          G
I play country when I'm losin' control
F                  C
I don't play Chuck Berry
E7                   Am G F
Quite as much as I'd like
C                G                 C
But I sure feel like Hank Williams tonight
  F              G           C
I feel like Hank Williams tonight
