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!
