INTRO: Bb Eb

#1.
Eb
They took a light from a honky tonk, put the 

gleam in your eye.
            Bb     Gb
They took a record from the jukebox and they 

bid my gal goodbye.
Abm7          Bb               Eb
And now she's gone, honky tonk gal.

#2.
Eb
Oh, she said she didn't love me, she didn't care 

no more.
      Ab
She'd rather spend her life on a honky tonk hardwood 

floor.
            Bb               Eb
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.

Eb
Someday you'll come back crying, someday you will 

be blue.
                  Gb            Ab
And that mean old honky tonkin' life'll get the 

best of you.
            Bb               Eb
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.

Eb
Lord, I'll stand right up and tell you, I'll sit 

right down and cry.
            Ab
Sweetheart, if you should leave me now, I'll know 

I'd lay and die.
            Bb               Eb
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.
