F                     Dm
  Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
A#
  Her eyes were hazel
         Gm
And her nose was slightly curved
F                         Dm
 We spent a night at the Memory Motel
A#                      Gm
  It's on the ocean, I guess you know it well
F                            Dm
 It took a starry night to steal my breath away
A#
  Down on the waterfront,
     Gm                     F   Dm   A#   Gm
Her hair all drenched in spray

F                    Dm
  Hannah baby was a honey of a girl

Her teeth were slightly curved

A#                        Gm
  She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain

 She drove her pickup truck, painted green and blue
A#
 The tires were wearin' thin,
       Gm
She's done a mile or two
F                   Dm
 When I asked her where's she headed for
A#                       Gm
 Back up to Boston, I'm singin' in a bar
F                          Dm
 I've got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
A#
  My nerves was shot already,
     Gm
The road ain't all that smooth
F                        Dm
 Across in Texas is the rose in San Antone
A#                         Gm
I keep on a feelin' that gnawin' in my bone
