DON'T TURN OUT THE LIGHT
As recorded by Bobby Bare
(From the 1977 Album ME AND McDILL)
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G
A scarecrow and a yellow moon
D A
And a roadhouse on the edge of town
D G
Hear that midnight rooster crow
D A
Well, I'll have one more before I go
G D
But Honey, don’t turn out the light (Honey, don't turn out the light)
A G D
'Cause I think I’m in the mood for love tonight
[Verse 2]
D G
The night is cool beneath the stars
D A
Ridin' home in John's old car
D G
Got my head out in the wind
D A
Here I am drunked up again
G D
But Honey, don't turn out the light (Honey, don't turn out the light)
A G D
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
[Guitar Solo]
D G D A G D A D
[Verse 3]
D G
Me and John and a pickup truck
D A
A bottle of gin and a paper cup
D G
Runnin' wild and livin’ hard
D A
And I passed out in our front yard
G D
But Honey, don’t turn out the light (Honey, don't turn out the light)
A G D
’Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
[Verse 4]
D G
The moon is high, the sun is down
D A
Honey came out in her ol' night gown
D G
On the porch at a quarter-to-three
D A
Talkin' to the deputy sheriff and me
G D
But Honey, don’t turn out the light (Honey, don't turn out the light)
A G D
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
[Outro]
G D
I said Honey, don't turn out the light (Honey, don't turn out the light)
A G D
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
G D
Well Honey, don't turn out the light (Honey, don't turn out the light)
A G D
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
