#. [G]I met a gin-soaked barroom queen [C]in Memphis
She tri[G]ed to take me [A]upstairs for a[D] ride
She[G] had to heave me right across her[C] shoulders
‘cause I [G]just can't seem to[D] drink you off my[G] mind

She’s a [G]Ho  -    n[D]ky-tonk  w[G]oman
[G]Gimmie, gimmie, [D]gimmie those honky-ton[G]k blues

#. [G]I layed a divorcee in New[C] York City
I [G]had to put up [A]some kind of [D]a fight
[G]The lady then she covered me with[C] roses
She bl[G]ew my nose and[D] then she blew my[G] mind

She’s a [G]Ho  -    [D]nky-tonk  [G]woman
[G]Gimmie, [D]gimmie, gimmie those honky-tonk[G] blues
