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. 
 
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.

Somebody Save The Honky Tonks

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

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.
