  			I usually capo this on 2 
          
   C          G 
I could live my whole life 
 Am          Em 
With out a phone call 
     F             C        G 
The likes of which I got today 
       C        G 
It was only my wife  
      Am            Em 
Said hello then goodbye  
     F            G       C 
And told me she's goin' away. 
C         G 
I didn't cry 
       Am          Em 
It was all cut and dry 
   F             C     G 
I hung up before I realized 
   C             G 
I turned up my stereo 
   Am            Em 
I walked to the window 
      F             G              C 
And stared at the storm clouds outside 
                  G             Am      Em 
I play classical music when it rains 
         F          C        G 
I play country when I am in pain 
   F             C               Em              Am   G F 
I won't play Beethoven, cuz the mood's just not right 
    C              G         C 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight. 
 
 
There's no explanation 
Not even a reason 
No talk of the good times we had 
Was it Me was it her 
I don't know for sure 
That's why I'm feeling so bad 
 
Hey I play jazz when I am confused 
I play country whenever I lose 
Bird's saxophone 
Just don't seem right 
I fell like Hank Williams tonight 
 
Lately I've been thinkin' 
I just might quit drinkin' 
Now I don't know all in all 
I just might stay home  
And get drunk all alone 
And punch a few holes in the wall 
 
'Cause when I'm real high I play rock and roll 
I play country when I'm losin' control 
I don't play Chuck Berry 
Quite as much as I'd like 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight 
 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
