 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!
