[Intro]
| G7 | G7 | C | C |
[Chorus]
F C I'm the mother, of a honky tonk girl G7 C C7 And I die, when they speak my babies name F C I hope that God, will forgive me G7 C For now, I know that I'm to blame
[Verse 1]
F Excuse me friends, for intruding this way, but there's something, I've just got to say C G7 I remember this girl, they're whispering about, just like it was yesterday C When she was small they'd bring her in the tavern and set her on a stool C F And give her a drink of their beer and laugh, I thought, oh, you crazy fools C G7 But what could I do, or what could I say? I'm just a bar tender and work here for my pay C And I could cry, when I hear a mother say:
[Chorus]
F C I'm the mother, of a honky tonk girl G7 C C7 And I die, when they speak my babies name F C I hope that God, will forgive me G7 C For now, I know that I'm to blame
[Verse 2]
F C You probably wonder why, I chose to condemn the stuff I sell G7 But I've seen the hurt it's caused and the souls it's sent to hell C Once we're on the wrong road, will temptation let us turn 'round? F Like the girl they're all talkin' 'bout, the one they're all runnin' down C Instead of giving her a drink of beer, where angels have never trod G7 C They should have given her a taste of love, yes, and a taste of God
[Outro]
F C I hope, that God will forgive me G7 C C I'm the mother, of a honky tonk girl
