Close Up The Honky Tonks chords by Dwight Yoakam

Chords with lyrics

Capo ?" 1st fret
INTRO: A augmentedA
A majorA                  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
A augmentedA               D MajorD
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
E MajorE                             A augmentedA
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down

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
A augmentedA              D MajorD
Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key
E MajorE                     A augmentedA
And maybe the one I love will come 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 augmentedA              D MajorD
If I had the power I?d turn back time
E MajorE                   A augmentedA
And live again the hours when she was all mine
A augmentedA                       D MajorD
It hurts to see her running with that crowd in town
E MajorE                            A augmentedA
But as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down

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
A augmentedA              D MajorD
Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key
E MajorE                     A augmentedA
And maybe the one I love will come back to me
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
Yeah, maybe the one I love will come back to me


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

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

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