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
