Bb                                 Eb
She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
F                                       Bb
Running where the music's loud and  the lights are low
                              Eb
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
       F                                                 Bb
And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down
   Bb                       Eb
So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors
F                                     Bb
Don't let the one I love go there any more
                         Eb
Close up the honky tonks throw away the key
     F                                      Bb
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

Bb                              Eb
I wish I had the power to turn back the time
F                                 Bb
And live again the hours when she was all mine
                                            Eb
Cause it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown
       F                                                Bb
And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down
   Bb                       Eb
So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors
F                                     Bb
Don't let the one I love go there any more
                         Eb
Close up the honky tonks throw away the key
     F                                      Bb
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
     F                                      Bb
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
