G                                    C               G
I told you that I found a girl who’d always treat me right

      C               G                             D7
Who’d stay out of the honky tonks and love me every night

   G                            C                         G
So I left you and took the girl that I’d thought would be true

    C                 G             D7              G
But how that I wish I still had the honky tonks and you

 
G                                 C               G
I wear the very finest clothes my pockets full of dough

        C               G                       D7
But the love I got from you with her I’ll never know

   G                        C                  G
Oh I have everything I need except the love we knew

    C                 G             D7              G
But how that I wish I still had the honky tonks and you

 
G                               C                G
I mingle with the upper class I drive the finest cars

  C                        G                         D7
I drink the most expensive brands and smoke the best cigars

  G                             C                 G
I didn’t know I miss you so and things we used to do

   C                  G             D7              G
Oh what I'd give if I still had the honky tonks and you
