  C
I ain't going honky tonkin' anymore
  F                                C
I know that I have said the same before
F
Troubles all I've ever found
C              A7
And its almost got me down
   D7               G7         C

[Verse 2]
C
My good  gal has really got me wrong
  F                                  C
I guess that's why I hate to stay at home
F
I gave her everything I had
C                A7
Then she treated me so bad
  D7                G7         C
I ain't going honky tonkin' anymore

[Verse 3]
C
Somehow life has treated me unfair
F                                        C
For I love a girl who just don't seem to care
F
I sure do wish that I could lose
      C             A7
These doggone honky tonkin' blues
   D7               G7         C
I ain't going honky tonkin' anymore

[Verse 5]
C
Something tells me I had better stop
F                                  C
For if I dont I just might blow my top
F
I'm gonna change my rowdy ways
    C                A7
And try to see a few better days
       D7               G7         C

[Verse 5]
  C
I wake up on the floor beside my bed
  F                                   C
I fell from there theres nuts upon my head
  F
I must have got into a fight
  C              A7
I wonder what I did last night
   D7               G7         C
I ain't going honky tonkin' anymore

  C
Now I ain't going honky tonkin' anymore
  F                                C

F
Troubles all I've ever found
C              A7
And its almost got me down
   D7               G7         C
