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#
