Webb Pierce – Honky Tonk Song

(Recorded key – F)

F
I got me a room in a cheap hotel,
F
My head was a spinnin', and I didn't feel well, 
Bb
I laid right down, and tried to go to sleep, 
F
A band kept a playin' and jarrin' underneath,
C
I picked up my pillow and covered up my head, 
F (STACATO)
But the band kept a playin' and shakin' my bed

Chorus:
F
Honky tonk, all night long,
F
Honky tonk, same ole song,
Bb
Honky tonk, my moneys all gone,
F
Honky tonk, she done me wrong,
C
I turned and I tossed and I couldn't go to sleep 
F (STACATO)
Cause the band kept a playin' with a honky tonk beat

(Solo) F / Bb / F / C / F

F
Well I'm so blue, my baby's gone, 
F
She took all my money and left me all alone, 
Bb
I tried to forget her but I don't know what to do, 
F
The honky tonk song keeps a leakin' through, 
C
I picked up my piller and I covered up my head,
F (STACATO)
But the band keeps a playin' and shakin' my bed

(Repeat Chorus)
