Close Up The Honky Tonks

E E A A


[Verse 1]
A                                  
She's in some honky tonk tonight I 
D
know
A     E                          
She's dancing where the music's 
        A
loud and lights are low
A                                 
She's dancing with some stranger 
    D
in a club downtown
D      E                         
And as long as there's a honky 
                        A
tonk, she'll never settle down


[Chorus]
A                            D
So close up the honky tonks, lock 
all the doors
E                                 
Don't let the one I love go there 
    A
any more
Continues after the ad
A                                 
Close up the honky tonks, throw 
       D
away the key
D    E                           
Then maybe the one I love will 
           A
come back to me

[Verse 2]
A                         D
I wish I had the power to turn back 
the time
D   E                             
And live again the hours when she 
A
was all mine
A                                 
'Cause it hurts to see her running
           D
 with that crowd downtown
D      E                         
And as long as there's a honky 
                        A
tonk, she'll never settle down


[Chorus]
A                            D
So close up the honky tonks, lock 
all the doors
E                                 
Don't let the one I love go there 
    A
any more
A                         D
Close up the honky tonks, throw away
 the key
D    E                           
Then maybe the one I love will 
           A
come back to me
D    E                         D
Then maybe the one I love will 
            D   A  A
come back to me
