Standard (EADGBE)

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#
