[Intro] G x4

  G                                                                      C

I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis

         G                             A                         D

She tried to take me upstairs for a ride

        G                                                                 C

She had to heave me right across her shoulders

                G                                   D                              G

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

                G           D                  G

She’s a Ho  -    nky-tonk  woman

 G                               D                                                G

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie those honky-tonk blues

I layed a 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
