OK for this one you need to learn the open G tuning

  - it was Keith Richards favourite tuning

From low to high it is :  D G D G B D


so tune both Es down to D and tune the A down to a G and you've got it




Most of the song can then be played using very simple shapes :


 DGDGBD   DGDGBD    DGDGBD    DGDGBD    DGDGBD
 000000   555555    557565    222222    777777

   G        C         F/C       A         D


 DGDGBD   DGDGBD 
 779787   002000

   G/D      G6


I can't remember all the words, but try this :

G                           C   F/C  C
I met her at a ............


G                      A            D     G/D  D
She said she wants to take me for a ride


G                             C  F/C  C
.........................................


G         D      G


Chorus :


G  G6  G  G6     D    G/D  D   G
Hon   -           - key Tonk   Women

G  G6  G  G6     D    G/D  D             G
Give me Give me  Give me the honkey tonk blues



There's quite a scope for using variations on these shapes, but this
 should give you the basic sound
