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
The lady had to heave me across her shoulder 
      G                  D                G
Now I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

Chorus :

         G D     G      
She's a honky tonk woman
                  D                      G
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues


I met a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady went and covered me up in roses
She blew my nose and then she blue my mind

         G D     G      
She's a honky tonk woman
                  D                      G
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues
G D         G
Honky-tonk women
                  D                      G
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues
