                              MOONSHINERS
                            GOODNIGHT, TEXAS


NOTE: To me in this song the banjo stands out more than the guitar.
      This was a request for this song to be done in standard tuning
      which I have done. A lot of the song is done with pull offs and
      hammer ons and thus chords like Dm would also become a Dsus2
      when the pointer finger is pulled off the low E string. This
      would also apply when the pointer finger is pulled off the Am
      chord making that an Asus2. I did not put them in but mentioned
      that here so as to nut clutter up the tab. Please keep that in
      mind when playing and rating this tab. Thanks.

VERSE:
  Dm
Where were you when the saw mill burned?
           Am                        Dm
I was out fighting with my grandpa`s gun
          Gm                    Dm
They can follow me as best they can
               Am
But I can run quicker when there is no sun

      Dm
Shine on
      Am
Shine on
      Dm
Shine on
      Am
Shine on


VERSE:
          Dm
Yeah the government of this state
               Am                         Dm
Ain`t the only way that the sherrif gets paid
        Gm                  Dm
You can try to hide who you are
                   Am
But they`ll see straight through your charade

Shine on
      Am
Shine on

      Am  C
Shine on


CHORUS:
  C           Dm
Where do the hound dogs eat
          Am          A
When the people are frail?
                Dm
Where does the smoke from your lungs go
 Am         A
Once you exhale?
             Gm
What do the cockroaches do
     Dm        A
With no one `round?
                    Gm
They live like the moonshiners
 Dm          A
Half underground

VERSE:
           Gm                 Dm
Yes it was me that burned it down
             A
To confound everyone and make it well known
           Gm           Dm
That after 33 years of this
            A                  A A A A A A
I`ve got a government of my own

      Dm
Shine on
      A

Shine on
      Am  C

 Am         A
Once you exhale?

With no one `round?
                    Gm
They live like the moonshiners

Half underground
