Original Artist - Honky Tonk Heaven And Hell guitar chord

I wanted to write a song about that fine line in a honky tonk

where you're either miserable and down or your there havin'

the time of your life. This is medium paced, maybe you can

figure it out. There are pauses at the commas.

Let me know what you think.

Honky Tonk Heaven and Hell - Rich Arnold 16 Feb 2005

Intro – E A E B7 A E

E A E

It’s late, I’m alone, In a bar filled with strangers

B7 E

Guilt pushes my soul to dangers

E A E

I look around, and I’ve found, it’s heartache that fills the well

B7 A E

Lord, I’ve got to find a way out of this honky-tonk hell

A line of fools, on a line of stools, prayin’ they still have time

Prayin’ to the whiskey and the wine

There I am, fallin’ down, that same old worn out trail

Lord, I’ve got to find a way out of this honky-tonk hell

Chorus

A E

And I know in this hell there’s a heaven

A E

Where the neon lights always shine so bright

A E

The line is so very thin between them

B7 E

But findin’ heaven sometimes takes all night

Don’t you see, how it can be, here in these honky-tonks

One man’s in his heaven, the other’s in hell

It could be, right here, right here beside me

I’ve got to find it before I go to hell

Some believe, it can be, left all behind you

All you gotta do is walk out that door

But I know, if I go, I won’t ever find it

That heaven that I’ve been lookin’ for

Chorus

Outro

B7 A E

But findin’ heaven sometimes takes all night
