They took a light from a honky tonk, put the  

gleam in your eye. 
            Bb     Gb 
They took a record from the jukebox and they  

bid my gal goodbye. 
Abm7          Bb               Eb 
And now she's gone, honky tonk gal. 

#2. 
Eb 
Oh, she said she didn't love me, she didn't care  

no more. 
      Ab 
She'd rather spend her life on a honky tonk hardwood  

floor.

But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.

Someday you'll come back crying, someday you will  

be blue.

And that mean old honky tonkin' life'll get the  

best of you. 
            Bb               Eb 
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal. 

#4.

Lord, I'll stand right up and tell you, I'll sit  

right down and cry. 
            Ab 
Sweetheart, if you should leave me now, I'll know  

I'd lay and die. 
            Bb               Eb 
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.
