E MajorE E MajorE E MajorE A augmentedA A augmentedA


🎸 Verse 1:
   A augmentedA               D MajorD
She's in some honky tonk tonight, I know
   E MajorE                 A augmentedA
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low
               D MajorD
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
    E MajorE                         A augmentedA
But as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

🎸 Chorus:
  A augmentedA             D MajorD
So close up the honky-tonks, lock all the doors
E MajorE                  A augmentedA
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
             D MajorD
Close up the honky-tonks, throw away the key
   E MajorE                   A augmentedA
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

🎸 Interlude:
A augmentedA A augmentedA D MajorD D MajorD

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

🎸 Chorus:
  A augmentedA             D MajorD
So close up the honky-tonks, lock all the doors
E MajorE                  A augmentedA
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
             D MajorD
Close up the honky-tonks, throw away the key
   E MajorE                   A augmentedA
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

🎸 Outro:
   E MajorE                   A augmentedA
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
