Key: F#m 🎸 Intro: Fm A#m Fm 🎸 Verse 1: Fm Knee deep in the Bullit Fm One foot in the dirt A#m Yeah, his blood shot eyes are empty Fm As a Monday morning church. Fm On a stool in the corner Fm Where he's been all week A#m Only way I know he's breathing Fm Is he just took a drink. A# And he keeps headin' toward the neon light
🎸 Chorus: Fm There's a hole in his heart C# Down at the hole-in-the-wall G# They found him with his hand D# C7 Wrapped 'round a whiskey poured too strong Fm There ain't no murder weapon C# Just a note that said she's gone G# And if they put in the paper D# Then it wouldn't say much at all: C7 Fm "One man dead at the honky tonk." 🎸 Verse 2: Fm We all saw it comin' Fm From a mile away A#m We knew that a good-bye Fm Would put him in the grave Fm And no she won't go to prison Fm But he's doin' life A#m She tied him to the bar Fm And let that firewater rise A# Her leavin' sent him to the other side 🎸 Chorus: Fm There's a hole in his heart C# Down at the hole-in-the-wall G# They found him with his hand D# C7 Wrapped 'round a whiskey poured too strong Fm There ain't no murder weapon C# Just a note that said she's gone G# And if they put in the paper D# Then it wouldn't say much at all: C7 Fm "One man dead at the honky tonk." Guitar 🎸 Solo: Fm A# Fm 🎸 Bridge: D# He's leanin' on that bottle G# And it's cuttin' like a knife A# And he keeps headin' toward the neon light 🎸 Chorus: Fm There's a hole in his heart C# Down at the hole-in-the-wall G# They found him in there D# C7 Drownin' in a whiskey waterfall Fm There ain't no murder weapon C# Just a note that said she's gone G# And if they put it in the paper D# Then it wouldn't say much at all: C7 Fm "One man dead at the honky tonk." 🎸 Outro: C# G# D# "One man dead at the honky tonk." C7 Fm "One man dead at the honky tonk." C# G# D# C7 Fm "One man dead at the honky tonk."
