INTRO (see TAB below)
VERSE 1 (see riffs 1 & 2 TAB below)
E (riff 1)
Well I'm back again
B (riff 2)
For another night
E
Of trying to break free from the sadness that I can't lay to rest
E (riff 1)
This old honky-tonk
B (riff 2)
Sure does feel like home
E
And the music with the laughter seems to soothe my loneliness
CHORUS (see TAB below)
A
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
E
From her memory that's drivin' me lonely, crazy, and blue
A
It helps me forget her so the louder the better
E B E
Hey mister turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
GUITAR AND MANDOLIN SOLO (see guitar TAB below)
VERSE 2
E (riff 1)
If a tear should fall
B (riff 2)
If I should whisper her name
B
To some stranger I'm holdin' while we're
E
dancin' to an old Buck Owens song
E (riff 1)
I know she won't mind
B (riff 2)
She won't even know
B E
She'll be dancin' with a memory cryin' teardrops of her own
