C             G     Am        Em
Well, I could live my whole life, without a phone call
    F              C       G
The likes of which I got today.
       C       G             Am          Em
It was only my wife, said hello then goodbye.
    F             G      C          G
And told me she's going away.
     C        G           Am          Em
Well I didn't cry, It was all cut and dried.
  F              C    G
I hung up before I realized.
C            G         Am            Em
Turned up my radio, I walked to the window,
F             G               C          G
Stared at the storm clouds outside.


[Chorus]
           C         G             Am
And I play classical music when it rains,
F            C       G
country when I am in pain.
F             C           Em              Am
I won't play Beethoven, the mood's just not right
F                    G          C
 Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight.



[Verse 2]
        C       G           Am     Em
There's no explanation, not even a reason,
   F           C             G
No talk of the good times we had.
       C          G      Am             Em
Was it me, was it her, I don't know for sure,
    F              G          C          G
And that's why I'm feeling so bad.


[Chorus]
         C         G       Am
I play jazz when I am confused,
 F           C      G
country whenever I lose.
F          C         Em               Am
Bird's saxophone, it just won't sound right
F                G          C
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.


[Interlude 2]
G Am  Em  F    C    G    G


[Verse 3]
F                            G
You know I've been thinkin', I just might quit drinkin'.
F            G          F
Now I don't know all-in-all.
  C               G         Am         Em
I just might stay home, get drunk all alone,
    F           G            C          G
And punch a few holes in the wall.


[Chorus]
 C                    G           Am
when I'm real high I play rock'n'roll,
 F                C         G
country when I'm losing control.
  F                C        Em          Am
I don't play Chuck Berry as much as I'd like,
F                    G          C
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.


[Outro]
  F              G          C
I feel like Hank Williams tonight.
