The Silver Moon Café
There's a Cblue moon iFn KentCucky, there's a tAmwo lane Fout of tGown, 
Where the Fsign reads leaving CGuthrieF, populCation one Gmore doCwn 
And there's a Ccafe oFut on the hCighway, truckers pAmouring cFoffee dGown
There's a Fjukebox in the Ccorner Fplaying Ccrying coGuntry soCunds
There's a Fwoman waiting tCables, she is as bAmusy aDm7s she can bGe
That is the Fonly way she is Cable Fto hold Con Gto her saniCty
I hear a freight train off in the distance going where I do not know
I just know it is going somewhere, that is where I want to go
Yes, there's a blue moon in Kentucky,  I (?) out of town
Just one stop to pick up my lady, population three more down
Just one stop to pick up my lady, population three more down

The Silver Moon Café

C F C Am F G

There's a blue moon in Kentucky, there's a two lane out of town,

F C F C G C

Where the sign reads leaving Guthrie, population one more down

C F C Am F G

And there's a cafe out on the highway, truckers pouring coffee down

F C F C G C

There's a jukebox in the corner playing crying country sounds

F C Am Dm7 G

There's a woman waiting tables, she is as busy as she can be

F C F C G C

That is the only way she is able to hold on to her sanity

I hear a freight train off in the distance going where I do not know

I just know it is going somewhere, that is where I want to go

Yes, there's a blue moon in Kentucky, I (?) out of town

Just one stop to pick up my lady, population three more down
