Murray Mclauchlan – Honky Red chords

[Intro]
E   F#m   A   G A E
E   F#m   A   G A E   G A E

[Verse 1]
EI ain't got no back porch
F#mI ain't got a rocking chair
AI got a dirty old coat I got shaky hands
      G           A       EAnd a face like a grizzly bear
EI'm an old wino and I scare all the ladies
F#mYeah you might say that I'm a bum
ABut I'm sure wired up to the Honky Red
      G           A       EAnd that good Gold Anchor rum

[Chorus]
Bm                      AWhen I need a drink I'm stains on a sink
G              A         EI'm please and thank you ma'am
Bm                      ABut when I got a head full of Honky Red
 G              A         EI don't give no good goddamn

[Verse 2]
EI fought in your wars now I sleep in your doors
F#mAn' I left my leg in France
AAll that remains is a ghostly pain
         G        E       AWhen the mornings get too damp
EI come from the styx I got grade six
F#mAnd I ain't much in demand.
AI deliver hand bills and I steal red pills
         G           A          EFrom the boys in the whorehouse band

[Chorus]
Bm                      AWhen I need a drink I'm stains on a sink
G              A         EI'm please and thank you ma'am
Bm                      ABut when I got a head full of Honky Red
 G              A         EI don't give no good goddamn

[Verse 3]
EI've got me a little girl that I see sometimes
F#mShe's damn near half a ton
AIn a furnished room in the Joyceville pen
  G        A       EI got me a no good son
EBut I'll keep me a head full of Honky Red
F#m'til the reaper tolls the bell
AIf I'm as high when I die as I was when I lived
           G         A       EI'll be in heaven as sure as hell

[Chorus]
Bm                      AWhen I need a drink I'm stains on a sink
G              A         EI'm please and thank you ma'am
Bm                      ABut when I got a head full of Honky Red
 G              A         EI don't give no good goddamn

[Chorus]
Bm                      AWhen I need a drink I'm stains on a sink
G              A         EI'm please and thank you ma'am

Bm                      ABut when I got a head full of Honky Red
 G              A         EI don't give no good goddamn

[Outro]
