D G D
With the way things are going it wont be very long til those flashing neon lights
A D
Are all but gone they say the nightlife ant the right life pour the whiskey
G D A
Down the drain melt down all them 45's that talk about trucks and trains
[Chorus]
D G
I'll be there when they burn the last honkytonk down
D E A
In body mind and spirit under the table or under the ground
D G
The fading echoes of a barroom band might be the only sound
D A D
I'll be there when they burn the last honkytonk down
[Verse]
E A E
We'll pull a jukebox from the ashes dust it off and we'll turn it on
E B
We'll dance in the burning embers until dawn
E A E
Pour a double from the rubble and we'll drink to the good ole days
E B E
Set there til the smoke clears and my last selection plays
[Chorus]
(play chorus again in E this time)
E A
I'll be there when they burn the last honkytonk down
E B
In body mind and spirit under the table or under the ground
E A
The fading echoes of a barroom band might be the only sound
E B E
I'll be there when they burn the last honkytonk down
