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!
