[Verse 1]
E A E
Here it is Sunday mornin’, I’m a sleepin’ late, tryin’ to cure this ringin’ in my head.
E F# B7
I should have been up and dressed all in my Sunday best hearin’ what that ol’ preacher man said.
E A F#
Yeah, the skirt that I’ve been chasin’ all the hell that I’ve been raisin’ has the Devil callin’ out my name.
A B7 E C# F# B7 E
Aw, if I don’t change my ol’ honkytonk ways, it’ll lead me to an early grave.
[Chorus]
E A E
Oh, I hope hell has a honkytonk. I hear it’s where they send people like me.
E F# B7
Who like to stay out late, get wild, get crazy, a little foot loose and fancy free.
E A E
Yeah, the life that I’ve been livin’, all the drinkin’, all the women’s gonna be the death of me
E B7 A E
I hope hell has a honkytonk, that’s right where I’m gonna be.
[Bridge]
A B7 E C# F# B7 E
[Verse 2]
E A E
Yeah, all my life I tried a livin’ right, but there ain’t no use in tryin’ no more.
E F# B7
Yeah, if my good intentions go to flyin’ out the window when I see them ol’ swingin’ doors.
E A F#
Yeah, a hard night of drinkin’ and I get to thinkin’, honkytonkin’s just in my bones.
A B7 E C# F# B7 E
But when it’s my time to go, all I want to know does the Devil like Haggard and Jones.
[Chorus]
E A E
Oh, I hope hell has a honkytonk. I hear it’s where they send people like me.
E F# B7
Who like to stay out late, get wild, get crazy, a little foot loose and fancy free.
E A E
Yeah, the life that I’ve been livin’, all the drinkin’, all the women’s gonna be the death of me

I hope hell has a honkytonk, that’s right where I’m gonna be.

I bet the jukebox there plays ‘Ring of Fire’ non-stop all day long.
F#7 B7 B7 A G# F# E
I hope the girls are hot and the beer is not, ‘cause that’s right where I belong.
[Chorus]
E A E
Oh, I hope hell has a honkytonk. I hear it’s where they send people like me.
