This is in F, but it's much easier to play in E and capo 1


For the guitar, play the boogie woogie blues bar chord style throughout,
and obviously use 7th's on most of this.


Capo 1
Chorus
E5                                       A5
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
         E5                                   B5
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand
        E5                                   A5
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
       E5                      B5          E5
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin man


E5                                           A5
A home and little children, mean nothing to you
  E5                                          B5
A house filled with love or a husband that?s true
E5                                                A5
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
        E5                          B5             E5
And the only home you know is that club down the street

Chorus

Solo Over chorus

Verse 2
A drinking and dancing to a honky tonk band
When you left your loving family life back right back where you ran
So go on and have your fun but you won't always look so smart
When some day that lonely barroom breaks your honky-tonk heart


Chorus out
