[Verse 1]
D G
Help me, 911 operator, got a Friday night emergency
D
I need nursin' cause I'm hurtin' from a long week workin'
A
And I'm thirstin' for a remedy
D
I need a red-head, brunette, or blonde
G
Angel of mercy that will put me through intensive care
D A D
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
[Verse 2]
D
Hang on, don't hang up on me lady
G
Gotta take me to the promised land
D
Cause I'm dying to see something like a juke joint jumpin'
A
to a thumpin' little five piece band
D
And be it red dirt, swing, just anything that's country
G
Even karaoke, I don't care
D A D
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
[Chorus]
G C D
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
G C
There's gotta be a honky-tonk
A
Girl you gotta get me there
D
I've tried my phone app, road maps, Siri, where's the party at,
G
But that ain't got me anywhere
D A D
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
[Solo]
D G D A
[Verse 3]
D G
Last call that’s all operator I'm afraid I'm runnin' out of time
D
I know I sound broken but I just keep hopin'
A
for an open glowin' neon sign
D
And maybe this is crazy but I'm thinkin' baby
G
Maybe later you could meet me there
D A D
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
[Chorus]
G C D
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
G C
There's gotta be a honky-tonk
A
Girl you gotta get me there
D
I've tried my phone app, road maps, Siri, where's the party at,
G
But that ain't got me anywhere
D A D G
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere (out there)
D A D G A D
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
