Chords with lyrics
G+G G7G7 C majorC
Take away the bright lights and music
G+G D7D7
Take away the powder and pain
G+G G7G7 C majorC
And you'll find that a honky tonk angel
G+G D7D7 G+G
Can't compare with your home lovin' saint
D7D7 C majorC G+G
She's just another woman who'll never make a home
A7A7 D7D7
She's had sweethearts before you she'll have others when you're gone
G+G G7G7 C majorC
Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam
G+G D7D7 G+G
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen
G7G7 C majorC
She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder
G+G D7D7
And she'll speak of a broken romance
G+G G7G7 C majorC
She'll say that things might have been different
G+G D7D7 G+G
Take pity but don't take a chance
D7D7 C majorC G+G
Don't take a cheap imitation when you have a real pearl
A7A7 D7D7
Don't take this hard hearted woman for your old fashioned girl
G+G G7G7 C majorC
Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam
G+G D7D7 G+G
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen
