HONKY TONK GIRL

Words and music by Loretta Lynn



[D] bridge to:

[G] Ever since you left me I've done [D] nothing but wrong

[A7] Many nights I've [G] laid awake and [D] cried

[G] We once were happy, my [D] heart was in a whirl

But [A7] now I'm a [G] Honky Tonk [D] girl.



CHORUS

So [A7] turn that [G] Jukebox way up [D] high

And [A7] fill my [G] glass up while I [D] cry

I've [G] lost ev'rything in this [D] world

And now I'm a [A7] Honky Tonk [D] girl.



[G] I just can't make a right with [D] all of my wrongs

[A7] Ev'ry ev'ning of my [G] life seems so [D] long

[G] I'm  sorry and ashamed for [D] all these things you see

But [A7] losin' him has [G] made a fool of [D] me.



So [A7] fill my [G] glass up to the [D] brim

To [A7] lose my [G] mem-o-ry of [D] him

I've [G] lost ev'rything in this [D] world

And now I'm a [A7] honky tonk [D] girl.

Note. Extra Verse from a different version.



All he ever gave me was a reason to go bad

And it's not hard to see just what I am

I'm ashamed and I'm sorry for everything you see

But losing him has made a fool of me.
