Honky Tonk Man  (1956)  -  JOHNNY HORTON  -  Lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
I'm a [E] honky-tonk man
And I can't seem to stop.
I love to give [A] the girls a whirl to the music of an [E] old jukebox
But when my [F#m] money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
[E] Calling hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?
I'm living fast and [B]
dangerously
But I've got [E] plenty of company when the moon comes up [F#m] and the sun goes down
[A] That's when I wanna see the [E] lights uptown
And I can't seem to stop I love to [A] give the girls a whirl to the music of an old [E] jukebox
But when my [B] money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Calling [C] [E] hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?

And I can't seem to stop.
I love to give [A] the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
[E] But when my money's [B] all gone, I'm on the telephone
[C#m] Calling hey, hey mama, [E] can your daddy come home?
It takes a pretty little gal [B] and a [F#m] jug of wine
That's what it takes [E] to make a honky-tonk mind with the jukebox a moanin' [B] a honky-tonk [A] sound
That's when I wanna lay my money [E] down
Cause I'm a honky-tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to [A] give the girls a whirl to the music of an old [E] jukebox
But when my money's all [D#] gone, I'm on the telephone
[E] Calling hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?

To learn Chuck Berry - (Soundtrack Version With Dialogue) You Never Can Tell chords, your practice should emphasize these chord progressions: A, E, A, B, C, E, F#m and E. A strategic approach would be to train at 70 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 141. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: E Major.
