As recorded by Post Malone

Capo 1st fret


Intro
Em   Am  Em


Verse 1
Em
Knee deep in the Bullit
Em
One foot in the dirt
          Am
Yeah, his blood shot eyes are empty
     Em
As a Monday morning church.
Em
On a stool in the corner
Em
Where he's been all week
     Am
Only way I know he's breathing
   Em
Is he just took a drink.
    A
And he keeps headin' toward the neon light...


Chorus
          Em
There's a hole in his heart
            C
Down at the hole-in-the-wall
     G
They found him with his hand
                 D                  B7
Wrapped 'round a whiskey poured too strong
            Em
There ain't no murder weapon
       C
Just a note that said she's gone
            G
And if they put in the paper
                             D
Then it wouldn't say much at all:
         B7           Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."


Verse 2
Em
We all saw it comin'
Em
From a mile away
Am
We knew that a good-bye
      Em
Would put him in the grave
Em
And no she won't go to prison
Em
But he's doin' life
    Am
She tied him to the bar
             Em
And let that firewater rise
    A
Her leavin' sent him to the other side....


Chorus
          Em
There's a hole in his heart
            C
Down at the hole-in-the-wall
     G
They found him with his hand
                 D                  B7
Wrapped 'round a whiskey poured too strong
            Em
There ain't no murder weapon
       C
Just a note that said she's gone
            G
And if they put in the paper
                             D
Then it wouldn't say much at all:
         B7           Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."


Guitar Solo
Em  A  Em


Bridge
     D
He's leanin' on that bottle
         G
And it's cuttin' like a knife
    A
And he keeps headin' toward the neon light...


Chorus
          Em
There's a hole in his heart
            C
Down at the hole-in-the-wall
     G
They found him in there
              D            B7
Drownin' in a whiskey waterfall
            Em
There ain't no murder weapon
       C
Just a note that said she's gone
            G
And if they put it in the paper
                             D
Then it wouldn't say much at all:
         B7           Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."


Outro
C                     G          D
"One man dead at the honky tonk."
         B7           Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."
C                     G          D B7 Em
"One man dead at the honky tonk."
