This is just my first try at uploading to any site so bear with me:
Hope it works out. Any help appreciated.
Let me know how you like the song... It's one of my favorites.
HONKY TONK MOON
Words & music by Dennis O'Rourke
As performed by Randy Travis
E E7
1.) Dirt road in the twi-lght, woods so cool and dark.
A C#7
Up a-head pale ne-on, somewhere a dog barks,
F#7 B7 E / A / E / B7 /
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me
E E7
2.) Breaking up the pool balls, chalk-ing up the cues
A C#7
Juke box pumping soft-ly, lazy sum-mer blues
F#7 B7 E / / A E / / /
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me
Chorus
A7
Through the blue smok-y haze, all through the haze
E E7
Trouble seems to melt a - way.............
F# F#7
My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
B F#m7 G#m B7
There's no hur-ry, no wor-ry, things are go-in' my way
3) My arms a-round my ba-by, shuf-flin' on the floor
Cig-a-rettes and saw-dust, squeak-y old screen door.
Honk- Tonk Moon, keeps shin-in on my ba-by and me.
4.)Out-side the dark is fal-ling, stars are twinkling bright
That old Hoot Owl is calling, every-things all right
F#7 B7 E / / A D7 / C#7 /
Honk- Tonk Moon, keeps shin-in on my ba-by and me.
F#7 B7 E / / / E . . .
Honk- Tonk Moon, keeps shin-in on my ba-by and me.
Don't know what key Randy does it in, but I like it in E.
It has some neat turn-arounds!
