D                   A7                                D
I'm living fast and dangerously - but I've got plenty of company.
D                              A7
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
G                             D
That's when I want to see the lights of town
D                       |D G|   D                        |G| D D7|
'Cause I'm a Honky-Tonk Man ---- and I can't seem to stop,
D7        G                                                    |D A7|D A7
D
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of the old juke box
D           A7
But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone, callin':
D                                         |G A7|
'Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?'

                D                                         |G D|
Repeat, ending: 'Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?'
