[Intro--Electric Guitar] E E A A [Verse 1]

^AShe's in some honky tonk tonight I ^Dknow ^AShe's ^Edancing where the music's loud and ^Alights are low ^AShe's dancing with some stranger in a ^Dclub downtown ^DAnd as ^Elong as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle ^Adown

[Chorus]

^ASo close up the honky tonks, ^Dlock all the doors ^EDon't let the one I love go there any ^Amore ^AClose up the honky tonks, throw away the ^Dkey ^DThen ^Emaybe the one I love will come back to ^Ame

[Instruments==Electric Guitar] A A E E E E A A A A D D E E A A [Verse 2]

^AI wish I had the power to ^Dturn back the time ^DAnd ^Elive again the hours when she ^Awas all mine ^A'Cause it hurts to see her running with that ^Dcrowd downtown ^DAnd as ^Elong as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle ^Adown

[Chorus]

^ASo close up the honky tonks, ^Dlock all the doors ^EDon't let the one I love go there any ^Amore ^AClose up the honky tonks, ^Dthrow away the key ^DThen ^Emaybe the one I love will come back to ^Ame ^DThen ^Emaybe the one I love will ^Dcome back to ^Dme ^A ^A
