HONKY TONK WOMEN  -  ROLLING STONES


Verse 1:

      G                                 C 
    I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis,
        G                A              G 
    She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
        G                                C 
    She had to heave me right across her shoulder,
             G                  D                G 
    'cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.


Chorus:
            (G)    D          G 
   It's the Hon-on-on-ky Tonk Women,
                     D                      G 
   Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.

Verse 1½ (not on single):

         G                         C 
    Strollin' on the boulevards of Paris,
       G            A               D
    as naked as the day that I will die.
        G                                    C 
    The sailors they're so charming there in Paris,
                                D               G 
    but they just don't seem to sail you off my mind.  


Chorus:
            (G)    D          G 
   It's the Hon-on-on-ky Tonk Women,
                     D                      G 
   Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.

Verse 2:

      G                           C 
    I laid a divorcee in New York City,
      G             A              D 
    I had to put up some kind of a fight.
        G                           C 
    The lady then she covered me in roses,
        G                D                G 
    She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
