Chords

From "3 Pears" Tabbed by thatchadmiller (Twitter) play it live and he uses a capo in E position, so there ya go! For the guitar, play the boogie woogie blues bar chord style throughout, and obviously use 7th's on most of this. Capo 1 [Chorus]
E                                       A
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music

         E                                   B
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand

        E                                   A
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music

       E                      B          E
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin man
[Verse 1]
E                                           A
A home and little children, mean nothing to you

  E                                          B
A house filled with love or a husband that's true

E                                                A
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet

        E                          B             E
And the only home you know is that club down the street
[Chorus]
E                                       A
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music

         E                                   B
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand

        E                                   A
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music

       E                      B          E
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin man
[Solo] E A E B E A E B E [Verse 2]
  E                                    A
A drinking and dancing to a honky tonk band

         E                                                      B
When you left your loving family life back right back where you  ran

   E                                                    A
So go on and have your fun but you won't always look so smart

          E                                   B            E
When some day that lonely barroom breaks your honky-tonk heart
[Chorus]
E                                       A
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music

         E                                   B
It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand

        E                                   A
Oh, dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music

       E                      B          E
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin man
