[Intro]
E 4x
[Verse]
E A
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis
E F# B
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
E A
She had to heave me right across her shoulders
E B E
‘cause I just can't seem to drink her off my mind
[Chorus]
E B E
She’s a Ho - nky-tonk woman
E B E
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie those honky-tonk blues
[Verse]
E A
I layed divorcee in New York City
E F# B
I had to put up some kind of a fight
E A
The lady then she covered me with roses
E B E
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
[Chorus]
E B E
She’s a Ho - nky-tonk woman
E B E
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie those honky-tonk blues
