      E                          E7  
1.) Dirt road in the twi-lght,  woods so cool and dark.

    Up a-head pale ne-on,  somewhere a dog barks,

   Trouble seems to melt a - way.............

   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 winking bright  
   That old Hoot Owl is calling,  every-things all right

   Honk- Tonk Moon,  keeps shin-in on my ba-by and me.
