Close Up The Honky Tonks

INTRO:  A
A                                   D
She's in some honky tonk tonight, I know
E                                                    A
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low
A                              D
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
E                                                         A
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down

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

You can still play it if you want to)

A                           D
If I had the power I’d turn back time
E                                      A
And live again the hours when she was all mine
A                                             D
It hurts to see her running with that crowd in town
E                                                        A
But as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down

A                             D
So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors
E                                  A
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
A                           D
Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key
E                                          A
And maybe the one I love will come back to me
E                                            A
Yeah, maybe the one I love will come back to me


(The following is just played with acoustic guitar with electric guitar stums)

A                          D
Close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors
E                                  A
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
A                           D
Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key
E                                          A
And maybe the one I love will come back to me

A                          D
Close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors
E                                  A
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
