D G Guess there must be somethin' to it. D A D Getting' paid for doin' something I'd be doin' anyway CHORUS: G D A And I'm just playing that honky tonk music D A That's the kind I like to play G D A (I'm) Just playing that honky tonk music D A G D That's the kind I like to play Wish that I could have a dollar For every drunk that I've heard holler Every barroom brawler I've seen just sleepin' off his fight. And all the stories I've been told Guess I'd have me a pot of gold Even if half the stories told had turned out to be right. CHORUS GUITAR(s) SOLO STEEL GUITAR SOLO Seen a lot of women lied to And sometimes I've even tried to When the night is gettin' late and the ladies look so good I've been in bars I didn't care for I asked myself "What was it there for?" All in all I wouldn't changes things even if I could CHORUS Honky tonk music is what I play Tabbed by Michael Shaw <[email protected]>
