Somebody Save the Honky Tonks Chords by Mark Chesnutt

_ [G] _ [Ab] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I drove down to the trap but the joint was [Fm] [D] closed
Lately they've been dropping like _ _ [A] dominoes
All my favorite water and [D] hose dried up _
_ _ Tell me is it too much for a man to ask
Erhard and Joan sang CC [Bm] [A] water back
With the lights too low and the cold draft [D] that cost you one buck _
[Am] Enough's [D] enough, [G] _ somebody save
The honky [D]-tonks, the hardwood floor and the quartered [A] jukebox
Where's the working man gonna [Em] go to [D] get tore up
When the last one's tore [G] down, somebody save
The neon [D] lights and the cinder block shacks cross the county [Bm] line
[A] Every day another piece of history's lost
Somebody save [D]
the [G] honky [Ab] _ [A]-tonks _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ [B] _
_ Well [E] it's enough to bring the tear to a bloodshot eye
Not knowing where to go on a Friday [Dbm] night
To [B] get down and get loud _
And whine [E] from a _ heartache _
Well [Eb] [E] listen, we the people gotta make this plan
Maybe write a letter to our congressman
[B] Show some support for the drunken man
[E] We can't wait _ until [Abm] it's too [A] late
Somebody save the honky [E]-tonks, the hardwood floor and the quartered [B] jukebox
Where's the working man gonna [E] go to [A] get tore [E] up
When the last [Ab] one's tore [A] down, somebody save
The neon lights [E] and the cinder block shacks cross the county line
[B] Every day another piece of history's lost
Somebody [E] save the honky-tonks
_ [A] _ [Bb] _ [B]
Why don't they take that old [E] wrecking ball
[B] To the up-end bars down at [E] the [B] mall
All I'm asking and all I want
Somebody [E] save the honky-tonks
_ [A] _ [Bb] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
