after the first line the song goes where it will and it writes itself, sort of. here's a song I wrote this morning, not recorded yet. it's here because it mentions Christmas.
maybe inspired by Honky tonk women, I don't know.
no honky tonk bar.
No Honky Tonk Bar.Undefined
(INTRO...||:E-E-E|E-C-A:|| X2
I [E] met that girl in a honky tonk bar.
[C] She wasn't drinking. But [A] she was singing.
[E] Every night from ten until one.
[C] She did the boogie. [A] The boogie woogie.
[Dbm] At twelve o'clock when the [B7] fight broke out.
[Dbm] I took her hand and I [F#m] led her [E] out.
[E] I had my car outside the side door.
[C] The sirens wailing. [A] The cops were coming.
[E] I drove her home to her own front door.
[C] What you doing? [A] Are you kidding?
[Dbm] I thought you'd take me somewhere [B7] nice for a drink.
[Dbm] I'm not that kind of girl that [F#m] you might [B7] think.
[E] So lets go somewhere [A] nice tonight.
[E] Take me where the [B7] kids don't fight.
[E] Sit me down and [A] talk to me.
[F#m] Under the light of a [B7] Christmas tree.
(CHORUS)
No honky [E] tonk bar. [A] No honky [E] tonk bar. [A]
No honky [E] tonk bar. [A] No honky [B7] tonk bar.
[E] I booked a room in the Grand Hotel.
[C] I bought a bottle. [A] Of fine champagne.
[E] We ate a meal and we spoke till late.
[C] The dawn was breaking. [A] I started sleeping.
[Dbm] And when I awoke I was [B7] all alone.
[Dbm] She took my cash and my [F#m] cards and my [B7] phone.
[E] No honkytonk bar...([A] she caught me good)
[E] No honkytonk bar...([A] she's no Robin Hood)
[E] No honky tonk bar...([A] not even her address)
[B7] No honky tonk bar...(for me ever again)
