	        C                     G 
I could live my whole life 
Am              Em 
Without 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  G 
And told me she's going 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 
C                G     Am           Em 
I play classical music when it rains 
       F            C        G 
I play country when I am in pain 
   F         C          E7                        Am    G  F 
I won't play Beethoven, cause the mood's just not right 
  C              G           C     G   Am  Em  F G C G 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight 
C                 G  
There's no explanation 
    Am         Em 
Not even a reason 
F              C             G 
No talk of the good times we had 
       C          G 
Was it Me was it her 
Am               Em 
I don't know for sure 
F              G          C   G 
That's why I'm feeling so bad 
C           G        Am       Em 
I play jazz when I am confused 
       F        C          G 
I play country whenever I lose 
    F          C 
But Bird's saxophone 
E7               Am  G F 
Just won't sound right 
  C              G            C   G  Am Em F G C G 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight 
C                G 
Lately I've been thinkin 
  Am              Em 
I just might quit drinkin 
F           C           G  
Now I don't know all in all 
C                 G 
I just might stay home  
Am                Em 
And get drunk all alone 
F               G             C   G 
And punch a few holes in the wall 
C                    G             Am    Em 
When I'm real high I play rock and roll 
       F            C          G 
I play country when I'm losin' control 
F                  C 
I don't play Chuck Berry 
E7                   Am G F 
Quite as much as I'd like 
C                G                 C 
But I sure feel like Hank Williams tonight 
  F              G           C 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight
