Start Jamming...
I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop.
I love to give the [A] girls the world to the music [F#m] of an old [E] jukebox,
but when my money's [B] all gone, I'm on the telephone,
[E] calling, hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?
I'm living fast [B] and dangerously, but I've got plenty [E] of company.
When the moon comes up [F#m] and the sun goes down,
[A] that's when I want to [F#] see the lights [E] uptown,
cause I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop.
I love to give the [A] girls the world to the music of an old [E] jukebox,
but when my [B] money's all gone, I'm on the telephone,
[C] calling, hey, [E] hey, mama, can your daddy come home?

He takes a pretty little gal [B] and a jug of wine,
[N] that's what I do.
