            НОNКУ ТОNК МООN

                                       Words & music by Dennis О'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.)Оuт-side the dark is fal-ling,  stars are twinkling bright
   That old Hoot Оwl 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!
