#96 Rock & #11 Country in 1962. [Chorus]
                 E
I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.

                           A
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music 

              E
of an old jukebox.

E                       B
But when my money`s all gone, I`m on the telephone,

        E                                   E
callin` hey, hey, Mama, can your Daddy come home?
[Verse]
E                   B
I`m living fast and dangerously but I`ve got plenty 

   E
of company.

E                              B
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down,

A                             E
that`s when I want to see the lights of town.
[Chorus]
                        E
'cause I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.

                           A
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music 

              E
of an old jukebox.

E                       B
But when my money`s all gone, I`m on the telephone,

        E                                   E
callin` hey, hey, Mama, can your Daddy come home?
[Solo] E E A E B B E [Chorus]

E                                  B
It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine..

                               E
that`s what it takes to make a honky tonk mine.

E                            B
With the jukebox a moanin` a honky tonk sound,

A                                E
that`s when I wanna lay my money down.
[Chorus]
