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?

[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?
And I can't seem to stop.
I love to give [A] the girls a whirl to the music of an [E] old jukebox
