Chris Hillman Close Up The Honky Tonks written by Red Simpson Herb Pedersen
BbEb She's in some honky tonk tonight I know FBb Running where the music's loud and the lights are low Eb In a crowded bar she likes to hang around FBb And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down BbEb So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors FBb Don't let the one I love go there any more Eb Close up the honky tonks throw away the key FBb Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
SOLO
BbEb I wish I had the power to turn back the time FBb And live again the hours when she was all mine Eb Cause it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown FBb And as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down BbEb So close up the honky tonks lock all the doors FBb Don't let the one I love go there any more Eb Close up the honky tonks throw away the key FBb Then maybe the one I love will come back to me FBb Then maybe the one I love will come back to me
