[Verse 1]
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
D
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
E A
But as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down
[Chorus]
A D
So close up the honky-tonks, lock all the doors
E A
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
D
Close up the honky-tonks, throw away the key
E A
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
[Interlude]
A A D D

[Verse 2]
A D
I wish I had the power to turn back the time
E A
And live again the hours when she was all mine
D
'Cause it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown
E A
But as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down
[Chorus]
A D
So close up the honky-tonks, lock all the doors
E A
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
D
Close up the honky-tonks, throw away the key
E A
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
[Outro]
E A
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
