As recorded by Post Malone (From the 2024 Album F-1 TRILLION - LONG BED) [Intro] Em Am Em [Verse 1]
Em
Knee deep in the Bullit

Em
One foot in the dirt

          Am
Yeah, his blood shot eyes are empty

     Em
As a Monday morning church.

Em
On a stool in the corner

Em
Where he's been all week

     Am
Only way I know he's breathing

   Em
Is he just took a drink.

    A
And he keeps headin' toward the neon light...
[Chorus]
          Em
There's a hole in his heart

            C
Down at the hole-in-the-wall

     G
They found him with his hand

                 D                  B7
Wrapped 'round a whiskey poured too strong

            Em
There ain't no murder weapon

       C
Just a note that said she's gone

            G
And if they put in the paper

                             D
Then it wouldn't say much at all:

         B7           Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."
[Verse 2]
Em
We all saw it comin'

Em
From a mile away

Am
We knew that a good-bye

      Em
Would put him in the grave

Em
And no she won't go to prison

Em
But he's doin' life

    Am
She tied him to the bar

             Em
And let that firewater rise

    A
Her leavin' sent him to the other side....
[Chorus]
          Em
There's a hole in his heart

            C
Down at the hole-in-the-wall

     G
They found him with his hand

                 D                  B7
Wrapped 'round a whiskey poured too strong

            Em
There ain't no murder weapon

       C
Just a note that said she's gone

            G
And if they put in the paper

                             D
Then it wouldn't say much at all:

         B7           Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."
[Guitar Solo] Em A Em [Bridge]
     D
He's leanin' on that bottle

         G
And it's cuttin' like a knife

    A
And he keeps headin' toward the neon light...
[Chorus]
          Em
There's a hole in his heart

            C
Down at the hole-in-the-wall

     G
They found him in there

              D            B7
Drownin' in a whiskey waterfall

            Em
There ain't no murder weapon

       C
Just a note that said she's gone

            G
And if they put it in the paper

                             D
Then it wouldn't say much at all:

         B7           Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."
[Outro]
C                     G          D
"One man dead at the honky tonk."

         B7           Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."

C                     G          D B7 Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."
