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.

With no one `round?
Gm
They live like the moonshiners
Dm A
Half underground
