Honey Won't You Open That Door
By:  Ricky Skaggs

Key of C


Chorus:
C                                       G
Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door

This is your sweet daddy don't you love me no more

It's cold outside you make me sleep on the floor
                          G
Honey won't you open that door

  C
I honkytonked around Dallas
                 F
I got in a poker game
                           C
Well somebody musta been a cheatin'
   G
I lost everything but my name
         C
Well, I walked half way to Memphis
                   F
I finally got back home
                          C
But I'd a been better off where I was
                    G           C
Cause here's where things went wrong

(chorus)
(Instrumental:  C, F, C, G, C, F, C, G, C  (verse chords))

  C
I went right down to see old Bob
                    F
I thought he was my friend
                        C
The landlord said that Bob's not here
    G               
The police done hauled him in
  C
I went right back to little honey's house
                   F
I got me a rocking chair
                          C
Said, "Honey if you don't open that door
                  G         C
I'm gonna rock on away from here."

(chorus)
(chorus)
C
Honey, Honey, Honey, Honey   Now honey won't you open that door
