[Intro]
G x4
[Strophe]
G                                 C 
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis
        G             A            D 
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
   G                                C 
She had to heave me right across her shoulders
         G                 D                G 
‘cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
[Refrain]
        G         D         G 
She’s a Ho  -    nky-tonk  woman
G               D                     G 
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie those honky-tonk blues
[Strophe]
G                        C 
I layed a divorcee in New York City
    G           A            D 
I had to put up some kind of a fight
G                                C 
The lady then she covered me with roses
      G             D                G 
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
[Refrain]
        G         D         G 
She’s a Ho  -    nky-tonk  woman
G               D                     G 
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie those honky-tonk blues
