EHonky Tonk Angel
Won't you Ahelp Dme out of Ehere
EMy glass is on empty and I Aneed a Dway Eout
EI keep fighting these demons
they Ahold me aDgainst my Ewill
and Ethese barroom shadows conAfine Dmy Eheart

EHonky Tonk Angel
Won't you Acall on Dme sometEime
Eit'd be nice to hear your voice on the Aother Dend of the Bline
EHonky Tonk Angel wont you Atake me Dby the Ehand
Eso I no longer have to be this ol' ArambDlin' Eman
[Instrumental]
E A D E E A D E

ETell that bar-room mirror not to Amake me Dlook so Ebad
Emake that old jukebox stop Aplaying those Dsongs so Bsad

the Esmoke is so thick I can AbareDly bEreath
[Chorus]
EHonky Tonk Angel
Won't you Acall on Dme sometEime
Eit'd be nice to hear your voice on the Aother Dend of the Bline
EHonky Tonk Angel wont you Atake me Dby the Ehand
Eso I no longer have to be this ol' ArambDlin' Eman
[Outro-single strums]
