D#
Well it all seems so happy
                 G#
But how can that be
         F#              D#
There a whole class of people
                    A#
Just as lonesome as me
    G#         D#
You ask me to tell you
                 G#
How I can be so blue
    F#            D#
But you'd be the same
                      A#
If the girl of your dreams
       G#             D#
Broke your heart in two

Chorus:
              G#
So play me a Hank song
   F#       D#
To ease my pain
                         A#
'Cause it helps to know someone
         G#        D#
Felt the same damn way
             G#
Alone and forsaken
         F#         D#
Brother what can I say
                   A#
Yeah I feel like a Hank song
G#     F#        D#
Since she went away

Ol' KG's my buddy
We go way back
To the times back in high school
When I was too poor for Jack
But even he knows that sometimes
You can't help right the wrongs
By gettin' stoned blind
You need to sit down and pine
To a Hank Sr song

Chorus:
So play me a Hank song
To ease my pain
Because it helps to know someone
Felt the same damn way
Alone and forsaken
Brother what can I say?
You know I feel like a Hank song
Since she went away

Well I hope that she's happy
And I hope that she's free
I hope she finds her a man
To treat her like a queen

And then up out of nowhere
When she needs him around
She wakes up to find
She's ran out of time, and he's ran out of town

Chorus:
I hope she needs her a Hank song
To ease her pain
Because it'll help to know someone
Felt the same damn way

Alone and forsaken
Honey what can I say?
I hope you feel like a Hank song
One of these days
