E I was out of my mind the first night we met B7 I was feeling lonely and blue I'd just moved to the country to get me some rest E The city can put a hurtin' on you Especially a fella from eastern Kentucky A Without a penny or a worth to his name E Wasting his life on a burnin' desire B7 E And chasing that honky tonk flame You were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing Leaving me helpless of lines To get you to listen to the way I was feelin' And the plans I had made for our night Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute You're mistaken if you think I'm the same As them skirts you've been chasin' all over town Along with that honky tonk flame Chorus: A D E I'm a woman with a love so true B7 Truth of the matter I'd give it to you E A You just got to slow down, quit actin' that way B7 E Burnin' your barn in this honky tonk flame You were sweet to the touch And a touch for the takin' The minute I learned how to breathe Finally found out that the love of a woman Who loved me was all that I'd need Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin' Except writing the songs that I sing Beating them strings like they're owing me money And chasing that honky tonk flame Chorus: But I got me a woman with a love so true Darlin' to me but that's missus to you All I did was slow down and quit actin' insane Burnin' my barn in this honky tonk flame | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA D E B7 |
