Mark Chesnutt - Somebody Save The Honky Tonks guitar chord

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.
