Close Up The Honky Tonks

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

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

(The following verse is played with 
a tambourine - no guitar except for 
electric and pedal steel is played.

You can still play it if you want 
to)

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

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

And maybe the one I love will come
         A
 back to me

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