_ _ _ [D] I drove down to the trap but the joint was closed.
Lately they've been dropping like _ dominoes.
[A] All my [F#m] favorite water [A] and [D] homes are drying up.
_ _ _ Tell me is it too much for a man to ask
to hear Haggard and Jones sing,
Can't you see, see, [A] water back? _
Life's a load of cold draft, [D] it cost you one buck. _
_ Enough's enough, [G] _ somebody say.
The honky [D]-tonks, the hardwood floor,
and the quartered [A] jukebox.
Where's the working man gonna go to [D] get tore up?
When the last one's torn [G] down, somebody say,
The neon lights [D] and the cinder block shacks
cost a counting life.
[A] _ Every day another piece of history's lost,
somebody [Dm] say the [D] honky _ [A] _ -tonks. _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [E] Well it's enough to bring the tear to a bloodshot eye,
not knowing where to go on a Friday night.
[B] Get down, get loud, [D#] _ and whine [E] from a heartache.
_ _ _ Listen, we the people gotta make a stand,
maybe write a letter to our congressman,
[B] show some support for the drunken man.
[E] We can't wait _ until it's too [A] late, somebody say.
The honky [E]-tonks, the hardwood floor,
and the quartered [B] jukebox.
Where's the working man gonna [E] go to get tore up?
When the last one's torn [A] down, somebody say,
The neon lights [E] and the cinder block shacks
cost a counting [B] life.
Every day another piece of history's lost,
[F#] somebody [E] say the honky-tonks. _ _ _
[B] Why don't they take that old [G#m] wrecking ball
[B] to the Yuppie Bars down at the mall?
All I'm asking, and all _ _ _ I'm
Somebody say [E] the honky-tonks.
