I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop.
I love [A] to give the girls the world to the [F#m] music of an old shoebox,
[E] but when my money's all [F#m] gone, I'm on the telephone,
[E] calling, hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?
I'm living fast [F#m] and dangerously, but I've got plenty [E] of company.
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down,
[A] that's when I want to see the lights [E] uptown.
Cause I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop.
I love to give the [A] girls the world to the music of an old [E] shoebox,
but when my money's [B] all gone, I'm on the telephone,
calling, hey, [E] hey, mama, can your daddy come home?

I love to [A] give the girls the world to the music of an old [E]
shoebox,
but when my money's [D#] all gone, I'm on the telephone,
calling, hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?
It takes a pretty little [B] gal and a jug of wine,
that's what it takes to [E] make a honky-tonk mind.
With the jukebox a-moaning, a [D#] honky-tonk sound,
[A] that's when I want to 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 the world to the music of an old [E]
shoebox,
but when my [B] money's all gone, I'm on the telephone,
