Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x4

I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis

 She tried to take me upstairs for a ride

 She had to heave me right across her shoulders

 ‘cause I just can't seem to drink her off my mind

 She’s a Ho - nky-tonk woman

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie those honky-tonk blues

I layed divorcee in New York City

 I had to put up some kind of a fight

The lady then she covered me with roses

 She blew my nose and then she blew my mind

Chorus
