Close Up The Honky Tonks
Buck Owens

E                                 A
She's in some honkytonk tonight I know
B7                                       E
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low
E                             A
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
        B7                                             E
And as long as there's a honkytonk she'll never settle down

CHORUS:
E                           A
So close up the honkytonks, lock all the doors
B7                                   E
Don't let the one I love go there anymore
E                        A
Close up the honkytonks, throw away the key
     B7                                     E
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

E                              A 
I wish I had the power to turn back the time
B7                                E
And live again the hours when she was all mine
E                                         A
But it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown
       B7                                               E
And as long as there's a honkytonk, she'll never settle down

REPEAT CHORUS LAST LINE TWICE AND END
