Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]drove down to the trap
But the joint was closed
Lately they've been
droppin like dominoes
[A]All my favorite watering holes
Are [D]dryin' up

[Verse 2]
Tell me [D]is it too much for a man to ask
To hear Haggard and Jones
[A]sing C.C. Waterback
With the lights so low a - tramp will cost you [D]one buck,

[Verse 3]
enough's enough
[G]Somebody save the honky tonks
The [D]hardwood floor and the
quarter [A]jukebox
Where's a workin' man gonna
go to get [D]tore [A]up
[D]When the last one's [Em]tore [D]down

[Verse 4]
[G]Somebody save the neon lights
[D]And the cinderblock shacks
cross the county line
[A]Every day another piece of
history's lost
Somebody [D]save [Em]the honk[D]y
[E]tonks
[A][D][A]

[Verse 5]
[B]
It's [E]enough to bring a tear
to a bloodshot [B]eye
Not [E]knowin where to go on Friday night
To get [B]down and get loud
And unwind from a [E]hard day
Well [B]listen,

[Verse 6]
[E]
We the people got a make [B]a stand
[E]Maybe write a letter to our congressman
[A]Sho[B]w some support for
the drinkin' man
We [E]can't wait until it's too late

[Verse 7]
[A]Somebody save the honkytonks
[E]The hardfloor and the quarter jukebox
[B]Where's a workin' man
gonna go to get [E]tore up

[Verse 8]
When the last one's tore down
[A]Somebody save the neon lights
And [E]the cinderblock shacks
[C#m]cross the [E]county line
[B]Every day another piece of
history's lost
Somebody [A]save the [E]honky tonks
[A][B]

[Verse 9]
Why don't they take that old wreckin ball
[A]To [B]the upend bars down at the mall
All I'm askin' and I want
Somebody [E]save the honky tonks

[Outro 1]
[E][B][E]
