[Chorus]
                       E
Well, I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
                           A                                 E
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
                        B7
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
     E                             E
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home
 
[Verse]
    E                   B7
Now I'm living wild and dangerously
    A                  E
But I've got plenty of company
                               B7
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
A                       E
I can't wait to see the lights of town
 
[Chorus]
                        E
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
                           A                                E
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
                        B7
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
E
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home
 
[Solo]
E A E B7 E
 
[Chorus]
                        E
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
                           A                                E
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
                        B7
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
E
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home
 
[Verse]
  E                        B7
A pretty little girl and a jug of wine
     A                              E
Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time
                               B7
With the jukebox moaning those honky tonk sounds
A                      E
I can't wait to lay my money down
 
[Chorus]
                        E
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
                           A                                E
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
                        B7
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
E
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home
 
[Break]
E
drum fill 
 
[Chorus]
                        E
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
                           A                                E
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
                        B7
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
E
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home

turn that B into A B7 and yer right on the money . E A and B7 are likely the most used three chords in country music from hank sr's so lonesome i could cry to sturgill simpsons turtles all the way down to tyler childers i swear to god to johnny cash's folsom prison blues (just capo on the first fret) to this old johnny horton gem dwight did so wonderfully that old E A B7 combo is a ubiquitous classic progression.

Nicely set out,cheers.Now to make the lyrics stick to the brain

It is interesting to listen to Eric Quincy Tates version....
