Intro:G

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 ho - - - -nky tonk woman
                  D                      G
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues
G      D        G
Ho------nky-tonk women
                 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
