Capo on 1st fret and play in E


F#7/B7/E/B7


E                              E7
1.) Dirt road in the twilight, woods so cool and dark.
     A                     C#7
    Up ahead pale ne-on, somewhere a dog barks,
    F#7                     B7                    E / A /  E / B7 /
    Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me
     E                          E7
2.) Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues
     A                        C#7
    Juke box pumping soft-ly, lazy summer blues
    F#7                     B7                    E / A / E / E7 /
    Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me


Chorus
                A7
   Through the blue smoky haze, all through the days
    E                     E7
   Trouble seems to melt away.............
      F#                         F#7
   My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
              B         F#m7              G#m      B7
   There's no hurry, no worry, things are going' my way


3) My arms a-round my baby, shuffling' on the floor
   Cigarettes and saw-dust, squeak-y old screen door.
   Honky-tonk Moon, keeps shin-in on my baby and me.

Repeat verse as instrumental 

--- Start the instrumental on the same beat as "me" in the previous verse.
Listen to the recording and you will get it.

Chorus

4.)Out-side the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright
   That old Hoot Owl is calling, every-things all right

    F#7                    B7                    E / / A   D7 / C#7 /
   Honky-tonk Moon, keeps shining on my baby and me.
    F#7                    B7                    E  /  /  /  E .  .  .
   Honky-tonk Moon, keeps shining on my baby and me.
