[Chorus]
                 E
I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.
                           A
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music 
              E
of an old jukebox.
E                       B
But when my money`s all gone, I`m on the telephone,
        E                                   E
callin` hey, hey, Mama, can your Daddy come home?
[Verse]
E                   B
I`m living fast and dangerously but I`ve got plenty 
   E
of company.
E                              B
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down,
A                             E
that`s when I want to see the lights of town.
[Chorus]
                        E
'cause I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.
                           A
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music 
              E
of an old jukebox.
E                       B
But when my money`s all gone, I`m on the telephone,
        E                                   E
callin` hey, hey, Mama, can your Daddy come home?
[Solo]
E E A E B B E
[Chorus]
E
I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.
                           A
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music 
              E
of an old jukebox.
E                       B
But when my money`s all gone, I`m on the telephone,
        E                                   E
callin` hey, hey, Mama, can your Daddy come home?
[Verse]
E                                  B
It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine..
                               E
that`s what it takes to make a honky tonk mine.
E                            B
With the jukebox a moanin` a honky tonk sound,
A                                E
that`s when I wanna lay my money down.
[Chorus]
E
I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.
                           A
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music 
              E
of an old jukebox.
E                       B
But when my money`s all gone, I`m on the telephone,
        E                                   E
callin` hey, hey, Mama, can your Daddy come home?
