[Intro]
F# Db F#
[Verse 1]
F# Db
I walked into a honkey-tonkey just the other day
F#
I dropped a nickle in the jukebox just to hear it play
Db
I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose
F#
Just dropped a nickle in the slot and I played the jukebox blues
[Instrumental]
F# Db F#
[Verse 2]
F#
There's a guy in there with an old tin horn
Db
And a feller on an old banjo, and the man of the fiddle
F#
He wasn't no slouch he could really drag that bow
[Instrumental]
F# Db F#
[Verse 3]
F#
Well, the man on the fiddle he must have got tired
Db
I didn't hear him say, 'cause he cut loose on the steel guitar
F#
And the jukebox ran away
[Instrumental]
F# Db F#
[Verse 4]
F#
And I heard something going strong
Db
It must have been a drum
Db
It gave that song a solid beat
F#
Boy it was goin' some
[Verse 4]
F# Db
I walked into a honkey-tonkey just the other day
F#
I dropped a nickle in the jukebox just to hear it play
Db
I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose
F#
Just dropped a nickle in the slot and I played the jukebox blues
[Instrumental]
F# Db F#
[Verse 5]
F# Db
I've played a lot of jukeboxes, most everyone in town
Db
That's the first tune I've ever heard
F#
That can make one dance around
Db
Play the jukebox blues, such a rhythm I've never heard
F#
I danced out both of my shoes
