Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose    (intro)

D ~ D A

1. Well, I'm back again for another night

A7 A A7 A D

of trying to break free from the sadness that I can't lay to rest.

D A

This old honky-tonk sure does feel like home

A7 A A7 D

and the music and the laughter seems to soothe my loneliness.

G

Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose

- D

from her memory drivin' me lonely, crazy, and blue.

G

It helps me forget her, so the louder the better,

D A D

hey, mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose.

+ instrumental = verse 1

D A

2. Now if a tear should fall, if I should whisper her name,

A7 A A7

to some stranger I'm holdin' while we're dancin'

A D

to an old Buck Owens song.

A

I know she won't mind, she won't even know,

A7 A A7 D

she'll be dancin' with a memory cryin' teardrops of her own.

+ CHORUS (2x)

D A D

+ Hey, mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
