Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F#m]They t[A]ook a[Am] ligh[A]t[D]
from a honky -tonk,
put the gleam in your eye.
[G]They took a record from a jukebox
and they bid my gal goodbye.
And now she's [Am]gone, [A]hon[F]ky -tonk gal[D].
Oh, she said she didn't love me,
she didn't care no more.
[G]She'd rather spend her life now
on a honky -tonk hardwood floor.
But I'll [A]be gone, ah,
[F]honky [D]tonk [G]gal[A][F][G][D]
Someday you'll come back cryin'
Someday you will be blue
And that [G]mean old honky tonkin' life
Will get the best of you
But I'll [A]be gone, [F]honky -tonk [D]gal
Lord, I'll stand right up and tip you
I'll sit right down and cry
Sweet[G]heart, if you should leave me now
I know I'd live and die
But I'll be [A]gone,
[F]honky [D]-tonk [G]gal[A][F][G][D]
It took a light from a honky -tonk,
put the gleam in your eye
It took a [G]rocket from a jukebox,
and it bid my gal goodbye
Now she's [F]gone, honky [D]-tonk gal
How'd I lie deep?
How'd I do?
How'd I deep?
How'd I do?
You'd [G]rather spend your life on,
on a honky -tonk heartless floor
But I'll [A]be gone, [D]honky -tonk gal you
