C                    G      Am                    Em
Well, I could live my whole life, without a phone call
        F                    C          G
The likes of which I got today.
          C                    G      Am                    Em
It was only my wife, said hello then goodbye.
         F                   G           C          G
And told me she's going away.
 C                    G      Am                    Em
Well I didn't cry, It was all cut and dried.
F                    C          G
I hung up before I realized.
C                    G      Am                    Em
Turned up my stereo, I walked to the window,
F                   G           C          G
Stared at the storm clouds outside.

Chorus:
C                    G      Am                    Em
And I play classical music when it rains,
F                    C          G
I play country when I am in pain.
           F               C                       Em                  Am
But I won't play Beethoven, the mood's just not right
  F     C                     G               C
Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.

Em   Am   Em    F      G     C      G

                     C                    G      Am                    Em
There's no explanation, not even a reason,
      F                    C          G
No talk of the good times we had.
        C                    G      Am                    Em
Was it me, was it her, I don't know for sure,
        F                   G           C          G
And that's why I'm feeling so bad.

Chorus:
C                    G      Am                    Em
Hey, I play jazz when I am confused,
F                    C          G
I play country whenever I lose.
          F               C                       Em                  Am
Bird's saxophone, it just don't seem right
F     C                     G               C
Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.

Em   Am   Em   F    C    G    G
C   Em   Am   Em    F    G    C

                   C                    G      Am                    Em
Lately I've been thinkin', I just might quit drinkin'.
    F                    C          G
Now I don't know all-in-all.
      C                    G      Am                    Em
I just might stay home, get drunk all alone,
      F                   G           C          C
And punch a few holes in the wall.

Chorus:

C                    G      Am                    Em
But when I'm rel high I plyay rock'n'roll,
F                    C          G
I play country when I'm losing control.
         F               C                       Em                  Am
I don't play Chuck Berry quite as much as I'd like,
F     C                     G               C       Em      Am      Em
Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
F                           G               C
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
