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

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

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

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