Intro- Verse 1 Chords
I walked into a honky-tonk just the other day
I dropped a nickel in a juke box just to hear it play
I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose
Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the juke box blues
Instrumental- chords from verse 1
There's a guy in there with an old tin horn
And a feller on an old banjo
And the man of the fiddle he wasn't no slouch
He could really drag that bow
Fiddle plays-Chords from verse 1
Well, the man on the fiddle he must have got tired
I didn't hear him say
'Cause he cut loose on the steel guitar
And the juke box ran away
Steel guitar plays- Chords from verse 1
And I've heard something going strong
It must have been a drum
It gave that song a solid beat
Boy it was goin' some
Drum plays- Chords from verse 1
I walked into a honky-tonk just the other day
I dropped a nickel in a juke box just to hear it play
I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose
Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the juke box blues
Lead guitar plays- Chords from verse 1*
I've played a lot of juke boxes
Most everyone in town
That's the first tune I've ever heard
That can make one mess around
INSTRUMENTAL-
Play the juke box blues
Such a rhythm I've never heard
I danced out both of my shoes
End on F#
