Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I'm [D]a honky tonk man,
and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the [G]girls a whirl to
the music of an old jukebox
[D]But when my money's all gon[A]e,
I'm on the telephone
Callin' [G]he-ey momma [D]momma
can your [A]daddy [D]come home?

[Verse 2]
[D]
I'm livin' fast and [A]dangerously,
but I've got plenty of [D]company
When the moon comes up and
[A]the sun goes down
[G]That's when I wanna see the lights of town

[Verse 3]
[D]'Cause I'm a honky tonk man,
and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a [G]whirl to
the music of an old jukebox
[D]But when my money's all[A] gone,
I'm on the telephone
Callin' he-ey [D]momma momma can your [A]daddy come
[D]home?

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]
I'm a honky tonk [D]man,
and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the [G]girls a whirl to
the music of an old jukebox
[D]But when my money's all[A] gone,
I'm on the telephone
Callin' he-ey [D]momma momma

[Verse 5]
can your daddy come home?
[D]
It takes a purdy little gal
[A]and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make
a [D]honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin'
a [A]honky tonk sound
[G]That's when I wanna lay my money down

[Verse 6]
[D]'Cause I'm a honky tonk man,
and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls [G]a whirl to
the music of an old jukebox
[D]But when my money's all gon[A]e,
I'm on the telephone
Callin' he-ey [D]momma momma
can your daddy come [D]home?
