I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
C G Am Em
Well, I could live my whole life, without a phone call
F C G
The likes of which I got today.
C G Am Em
It was only my wife, said hello then goodbye.
F G C G
And told me she's going away.
C G Am Em
Well I didn't cry, It was all cut and dried.
F C G
I hung up before I realized.
C G Am Em
Turned up my stereo, I walked to the window,
F G C G
Stared at the storm clouds outside.
[Chorus]
C G Am Em
And I play classical music when it rains,
F C G
I play country when I am in pain.
F C Em Am
But I won't play Beethoven, the mood's just not right
F C G C
Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
[Interlude 1]
Em Am Em F
G C G
[Verse 2]
C G Am Em
There's no explanation, not even a reason,
F C G
No talk of the good times we had.
C G Am Em
Was it me, was it her, I don't know for sure,
F G C G
And that's why I'm feeling so bad.
[Chorus]
C G Am Em
Hey, I play jazz when I am confused,
F C G
I play country whenever I lose.
F C Em Am
Bird's saxophone, it just don't seem right
F C G C
Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
[Interlude 2]
Em Am Em F C G G
C Em Am Em F G C
[Verse 3]
C G Am Em
Lately I've been thinkin', I just might quit drinkin'.
F C G
Now I don't know all-in-all.
C G Am Em
I just might stay home, get drunk all alone,
F G C G
And punch a few holes in the wall.
[Chorus]
C G Am Em
But when I'm real high I play rock'n'roll,
F C G
I play country when I'm losing control.
F C Em Am
I don't play Chuck Berry quite as much as I'd like,
F C G C Em Am Em
Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
[Coda]
F G C
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
