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