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.

Amen, brother! Save the honky tonks - AND save country music from the cotton-candy acts! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Mark Chesnutt is what country music NEEDS right now. A country singer, singing country music! -WildCard76 | 10/16/2004 | Wild card, I thought I was the only one who felt that way. I haven't listened to the radio in two years. Mostly because I don't want to throw up all over my steerin wheel. God Bless Mark and all the other Honky Tonk singers that are trying to get by in a world of country pop. Somebody save the honkytonks and Honkytonk heroes like Mark Chesnutt. Great tab/song. -icemanx38 | 5/21/2005 |
