Honky Tonk Heroes — Billy Joe Shaver
Chords and lyrics for Honky Tonk Heroes by Billy Joe Shaver (key of D).
Verse
[D]Low down leaving sun, I've done did everything that needs [G]done
[G]Woe is me, [D]why can't I [Bm]see, I [E7]best be leaving well enough [A]alone
Them [D]neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
Keep a-haunting [D7]me and [G]memories
There is [G]one in every crowd, for [D]crying out [B7]loud
[E7]Why was it always turning [A]out be me
Chorus
[D]Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
It [D]seems like it was [D7]just the other [G]day
I was [G]down at Green Gables, [D]hawking them [Bm]tables
And [E7]generally blowing all my [A]hard earned pay
[D]Piano rolled blues, I danced holes in my boots
There [D]weren't another [D7]other way to [G]be
For [G]loveable losers, and [D]no account [B7]boozers
And [E7]honky tonk [A]heroes like [D]me
Outro
[D]Piano rolled blues, I danced holes in my boots
There [D]weren't another [D7]other way to [G]be
For [G]loveable losers, and [D]no account [E7]boozers
And [G]honky tonk [A]heroes like [D]me
