         G             D/F#        Em7    G
When the hot September sun down in Texas,

    C                       D        D          C        G
has sucked the streams bone dry, and turned the roads to dust,

       G             D/F#           Em7   G
In the sleepy little towns down in Texas

    C                     D         D           C          G   F
The shades are all pulled down, the streets are all rolled up

             C                     D
And the only thing that breaks the silence,

        G        D/F#    Em
Are the trucks a passing by

    C                    D
and late at night on the front porch swing

        D      C        G    D
you can hear a mournful sigh.

                 G        D/F#          Em7          G
And the lonesome Whipowill cries to the stars above

       C           G        Am
He was calling out for his  lady love,

           D/F#          C  Em7  Am  G  D
She's been gone so long.
[CHORUS]
           G              D/F#
I was just talking to the moon...

Em7            G                C   Bm  Am  (Am C Bm)
Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over...

    D         C  Em  Am
The memory of you

            G      D
Too hard to hold,
[BRIDGE]
        B7              Em
And the wind across the plains, is

   B7           Em
Is all that now remains, you know the

A7                     Bm
night shakes loose the names, but they

Em             A                 Am   D
never quite go back the way they came
[BREAK] G D/F# Em7 G C D G D
   G            G
So goodbye, rodeo

       G                            G
it's a long, funny way for a man to go,

    Em            A                D
and never change,  never change at all
[CHORUS]
          G              D/F#
I was just talking to the moon...

Em7            G                C   Bm  Am  (Am C Bm)
Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over...

    D         C  Em  Am
The memory of you

            G      D
Too hard to hold on

          G              D/F#
I was just talking to the moon...

Em7            G                C   Bm  Am  (Am C Bm)
Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over...

    D         C  Em  Am   G  D
The memory of you
