Mark Chesnutt – Somebody Save The Honky Tonks

A D

  D
I drove down to The Trap but the joint was closed                 
Lately they’ve been droppin’ like Dominos
A                                     D
All of my favorite waterin’ holes are dryin’ up
Tell me is it too much 
For a man to ask 
                                       A
To hear Haggard and Jones sing CC Waterback
With the lights so low
                                  D
And cold drafts will cost you one buck
Enough’s enough.

Chorus:
G
Somebody Save The Honky Tonks
    D                                       A
The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox
                                        D
Where’s the workin’ man gonna go to get tore up
When the last one’s tore down
G
Somebody Save the neon lights 
        D
And the cinderblock shacks crossed the county line
A
Everyday another piece of history’s lost
                  D            A D B
Somebody Save The Honky Tonks.

          E
Well it’s enough to bring a tear to a blood shot eye
Not knowin’ where to go on a Friday night
       B
To get down and get loud
                  E
And unwind from a hard day
Listen, we the people got a make a stand
Maybe write a letter to our congressman
B
Show some support for the drinkin’ man
   E
We can’t wait, until it’s too late.

Chorus2:
A
Somebody Save The Honky Tonks
    E                                       
The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox
B                                       E
Where’s the workin’ man gonna go to get tore up
When the last one’s tore down
A
Somebody Save the neon lights 
        E
And the cinderblock shacks crossed the county line
B
Everyday another piece of history’s lost
                  E            
Somebody Save The Honky Tonks.

B
Why don’t they take that ol’ wreckin’ ball 
To the uppity bars, down at the mall
All I’m askin, all I want
                  E(Stop)     B E
Somebody Save The Honky Tonks.
