         E                                                 A                 E
Well I’m tryin not to think about the consequences of this honky tonk life I lead
         E                                              F#                   B7
Yeah the beer drinking, hell raiswing, two timing women ain’t exactly what I need
       E                                   A              E
Oh but I’ve been known to tie one on, I’ll drink before I feed
  E                      C#                   F#         B7     E
A lost love, a longneck, steel guitars is the honky tonk life I lead


Chorus:
        C#                        F#
Oh this honky tonk life I lead is gonna be the death of me
       B7
I keep playing my guitar in these beatup bars, usually I play for free
        C#                             F#
Oh, but one day I’ll be a star but for now I’ll keep picking my old guitar
       E                C#                   F#         B7     E
And an ice cold beer is all I need, it’s the honky tonk life I lead


Now there’s a beer joint down in Houston that’s called Blanco’s Bar and Grill
Yeah they serve em up tight every Thursday night trading whiskey for a dollar bill
Man you ain’t gotta worry ‘bout a place to stay even if you have no friends
You just two step your way to the trailer outside, you’re welcome at the Stumble Inn

Chorus
