(Verse)
No (D)bartenders, no gui-(G)tars with B-(D)Benders
No (D)two-steppin' shuffles, (G) no shiny belt (A)buckles
No sawdust in (D)sight, no cold Lone (A)Star Light
Well, they've (G)mopped all the floors
And locked all the (A)doors and turned out the (D)lights (G)
(Chorus)
(G) Y'all they've (D)closed down the (A)honky tonks
And (G)now my (A)world ain't (D)turning
The (D)jukebox ran out of change
And the (Em)neon lights ain't (A)buzzing
And there (D)ain't nothin' sadder than covering Haggard
And no-(G)body singing a-(Em)long
Y'all they've (G)closed (A)down the honky (D)tonks
(Solo)

(Verse)
There's (A)no Broken Spoke (D)
Dim (G)lights or thick (D)smoke
No more (D)rowdy and (G)reckless
No more Billy Bob's (A)Texas (D) (A)
No barstool back-(D)sliding, no Gilley's bull (A)riding
No more last (G)call, and no boots in Gruene (A)Hall
And damn, that ain't (D)right
(Chorus)
(G) They've (D)closed down the (A)honky tonks
And (G)now my (A)world ain't (D)turning
The (D)jukebox ran out of change
And the (Em)neon lights ain't (A)buzzing
And there (D)ain't nothin' sadder than covering Haggard
And no-(G)body singing a-(Em)long
Y'all they've (G)closed (A)down the honky (D)tonks
(Outro.)
Y'all they've (G)closed (A)down the honky (D)tonks
