HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
As recorded by George Jones
(From the 1960 Album GEORGE JONES SALUTES HANK WILLIAMS)
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
G D A D
[Verse 1]
D G
I know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in
D E7 A7
I can't even spell my name, my heads in such a spin
D G
Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old tablespoon
D
You got me chasin' rabbits, walkin' on my hands
A D
And a-howlin' at the moon
[Verse 2]
D
Well look, I took one look at you
G
And it almost drove me mad
D E7 A7
And then I even went and lost what little sense I had
D G
Now I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon
D
You got me chasin' Rabbits, pullin' out my hair
A D
And a-howlin' at the moon
[Lap Steel & Fiddle Solos]
D G D E7 A7
D G D A D
[Verse 3]
D G
Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree
D
'Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state
E7 A7
That can hold a light to me
D G
I eat three bones for dinner today, then I tried to tree a 'Coon
D
You got me chasin' Rabbits, scratchin' fleas
A D
And a-howlin' at the moon
[Verse 4]
D G
I rode my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass
D E7 A7
I pulled 'im up and I hollered whoa, said fill 'em up with gas
D
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham!
G
He changed my tune
D
You got me chasin' rabbits, spittin' out teeth
A D
And a-howlin' at the moon
[Verse 5]
D G
I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard
D E7
But honey, baby, when I fell the whole world
A7
Must have jarred
D
I think I'd quit my doggish ways
G
If you'd take me for your groom
D
You got me chasin' rabbits, pickin' out rings
A D
And a-howlin' at the moon...
