Talking To The Moon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][Dm][C][D][G]
[D][Dsus4][D]
When the [G]hot September sun

[Verse 1]
[D]
down [Em]in Texas[Dm]
Has [C]sucked the streams bone [D]dry
And turned to roads [G]to dust
[C]In the sle[G]epy little tow[D]n
s down [Em]in Texas,[Dm]
The [C]shades are all pulled [D]down;
The streets are [Em]all rolled u[G]p.
The only [C]thing that breaks the si[D]lence
Are the [G]trucks [D]a-passin' by
[Em]by
And [C]late at night on the
[D]front porch swing
You can hear [G]a mourn[Dsus4]ful sigh
[D]The lonesome whi[G]ppoorwill cri[Bm]es
to the [Em]stars [Dsus4]above
[D]He [C]was callin' [G]out for
[Am]his lady love
[C]She's [D]been gone so long
[G][Am][G][D][Dsus4]
[D]I was just tal[G]kin' to the moo[D]n
[Em]Hopin' someday [G]soon that
I'd be [C]over[G][Am][C]
The [D]memory of [G]you-too [Am]hard hard
to [G]hold[Dsus4][D]
And the [Bsus4]wind acro[B]ss the [Em]plains
Is [Bsus4]all that [B]now remains[Em]
[C#dim]The night shakes loose [Bm]the names
But they [Em]never quite go [A]back the way they [Am]came
[Dsus4][D][G][D][Em][Dm][C][D]
[G][D][Dsus4][D]
So, [G]good-bye rodeo[Gaug]
[G]rodeo[Gaug]
It's [G]a long, funny [Gaug]way for
a [G]man [Em]to go
And never [Asus4]change-
And [A]never change at [Dsus4]all[D]
I was just [G]talkin' to the [D]moon
[Em]Hopin' someday [Dm]soon that
[G]I'd be [C]over[G][Am]
[C]The mem[D]ory of you,
[G]too[Am] hard to hold on[G][D][Dsus4]
I [D]was just [G]talkin' to [D]the moon
[Em]Hopin' someday [Dm]soon that I'd
be [C]over [G]the[Am][C]
[D]Memory [C]of you[D]
