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
1.) Dirt road in the twi-lght, woods so cool and dark.
Up a-head pale ne-on, somewhere a dog barks, / / / / Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me
2.) Breaking up the pool balls, chalk-ing up the cues
Juke box pumping soft-ly, lazy sum-mer blues / / / / / Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me
Chorus
Through the blue smok-y haze, all through the haze
Trouble seems to melt a - way.............
My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
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
/ / / / 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! Carl Butler (not of C&W fame)
