Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
E MajorE
I was out of my mind the first night we met
BB
I was feeling lonely and blue
I'd just moved to the country to get me some rest
E MajorE
The city can put a hurtin' on you
Especially a fella from eastern Kentucky
A augmentedA
Without a penny or a worth to his name
E MajorE
Wasting his life on a burnin' desire
BB E MajorE
And chasing that honky tonk flame
Verse 2:
E MajorE
You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing
BB
Leaving me helpless of lines
To get you to listen to the way I was feelin'
E MajorE
And the plans I had made for our night
Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute
A augmentedA
You're mistaken if you think I'm the same
E MajorE
As them skirts you've been chasin' all over town
BB E MajorE
Along with that honky tonk flame
Chorus 1:
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
I'm a woman with a love so true
BB
Truth of the matter I'd give it to you
E MajorE A augmentedA
You just got to slow down, quit actin' that way
BB E MajorE
Burnin' your barn in this honky tonk flame
Verse 3:
E MajorE
You were sweet to the touch
And a touch for the takin'
BB
The minute I learned how to breathe
Finally found out that the love of a woman
E MajorE
Who loved me was all that I'd need
Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin'
A augmentedA
Except writing the songs that I sing
E MajorE
Beating them strings like they're owing me money
BB E MajorE
And chasing that honky tonk flame
Chorus 2:
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
But I got me a woman with a love so true
BB
Darlin' to me but that's missus to you
E MajorE A augmentedA
All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane
BB E MajorE
