G             G7                C 
Take away the bright lights and music  

     G                   D7 
Take away the powder and pain 

    G                  G7         C 
And you'll find that a honky tonk angel 
  
      G                 D7          G 
Can't compare with your home lovin' saint 


      D7                 C                   G 
She's just another woman who'll never make a home 

      A7                                     D7 
She's had sweethearts before you she'll have others when you're gone 

      G                               G7                 C 
Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam 

                               G                D7         G 
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen 


                      G7          C 
She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder 
  
    G                        D7 
And she'll speak of a broken romance 

       G               G7              C 
She'll say that things might have been different 
  
     G        D7           G 
Take pity but don't take a chance 


      D7                     C                    G 
Don't take a cheap imitation when you have a real pearl 

      A7                               D7 
Don't take this hard hearted woman for your old fashioned girl 

      G                               G7                 C 
Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam 

                               G                D7         G 
Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen
