CAPO 1 
  
            A             E 
Well I could live my whole life 
 F#m       C#m 
Without a phone call 
     D            A      E 
The likes of what I got today 
        A       E 
It was only my wife 
      F#m           C#m 
Said hello then goodbye 
      D             E     A    A-D-E 
Then told me she's going away 
 
     A         E 
Well I didn't cry 
       F#m         C#m 
It was all cut and dry 
   D             A    E 
I hung up before I realised 
   A             E 
I turned up my stereo 
  F#m           C#m 
Walked to the window 
  D             E             A    A-D-E 
Stared at the storm clouds outside 
 
 
Chorus 1 
       A         E             F#m   A 
I play classical music when it rains 
       D            A       E 
I play country when I am in pain 
   D             A 
I won't play beethoven 
     C#m            F#m  D 
The moods just not right 
  A              E          A     E  F#m C#m D  E  A  E 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight 
 
 
        A       E 
There's no explanation 
F#m        C#m 
Not even a reason 
   D           A                E 
No talk of the good times we've had 
       A         E 
Was it me was it her 
   F#m           C#m 
I don't know for sure   
      D             E        A   A-D-E 
And thats why I'm feeling so bad 
 
 
Chorus 2 
 
A                 E           F#m   A 
Yeah I play jazz when I am confused 
        D        A         E 
I play country whenever I lose 
    D          A 
But birds saxophone 
     C#m        F#m    D 
Just don't seem right 
  A              E          A 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight 
 
 
E  F#m C#m D   A  E  A-D-E 
A  E   F#m C#m D  E  A 
 
 
A                E 
Latley I've been thinking 
       F#m        C#m 
I just might quit drinking 
      D          A      E 
Now I don't know all I know 
       A           E 
I just might stay home 
     F#m       C#m 
Get drunk all alone 
 D           E            A   A-D-E 
Punch a few holes in the wall 
 
 
Chorus 3 
 
A                    E             F#m 
When I'm real high I play rock 'n' roll 
        D        A             E 
I play country when I'm losing control 
    D               A 
I don't play chuck berry 
         C#m          F#m   D 
Quite as often as I'd like 
  A              E          A     E  F#m C#m D 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight 
                 A          A 
I feel like Hank Williams tonight
