(Capo on 1)

(Intro.)
|(Em) / / / |(Am) / / / |(Em) / / / |(Am) / / / |
 
(Verse 1)
(Em) Knee deep in the Bullit, (Em) one foot in the dirt
Yeah, (Am)his blood shot eyes are empty as a (Em)Monday morning church
(Em) On a stool in the corner (Em) where he's been all week
Only (Am)way I know he's breathing is (Em)he just took a drink
And (A)he keeps headin' toward the neon light

(Chorus)
There's a (Em) hole in his heart down at the (C) hole-in-the-wall
They (G)found him with his hand wrapped 'round a (D)whiskey poured too (B)strong
There ain't (Em) no murder weapon just a (C)note that said she's gone
And if they (G)put in the paper, then it wouldn't say much at (D)all
gOne man (B)dead at the honky (Em) tonkh

(Verse 2)
(Em) We all saw it comin' from a mile away
(Am)We knew that a good-bye would (Em)put him in the grave
(Em) And no she won't go to prison, but he's doin' life
She (Am)tied him to the bar, and let that (Em)firewater rise
Her (A)leavin' sent him to the other side

(Chorus)
There's a (Em) hole in his heart down at the (C) hole-in-the-wall
They (G)found him with his hand wrapped 'round a (D)whiskey poured too (B)strong
There ain't (Em) no murder weapon just a (C)note that said she's gone
And if they (G)put in the paper, then it wouldn't say much at (D)all
gOne man (B)dead at the honky (Em) tonkh

(Guitar Solo)
 / / / |(Em) / / / |(A) / / / |(Em) / /

(Bridge)
He's (D)leanin' on that bottle and it's (G)cuttin' like a knife
And (A)he keeps headin' toward the neon light...

(Chorus)
There's a (Em) hole in his heart down at the (C) hole-in-the-wall
They (G)found him with his hand wrapped 'round a (D)whiskey poured too (B)strong
There ain't (Em) no murder weapon just a (C)note that said she's gone
And if they (G)put in the paper, then it wouldn't say much at (D)all
"One man (B)dead at the honky (Em) tonk"

(Outro.)
"One man (C)dead at the honky (G) tonk" (D)
(C) "One man dead at the honky (G) tonk." (Em)
(C) "One man (C)dead at the honky (G) tonk" (D) (B) (Em) - - - - -
