If anyone has the lyrics, and especially the chords, to this song I'd appreciate it.

I have the song on the wonderful "Old and In the Way" album, Jerry Garcia's one blue grass album. I was waiting to see if anyone else had the lyrics. I will dig out the tape and try to transcribe the lyrics for you. It's a great song. The chords might take me longer. I'll be back at work (my only access to the internet) on Wednesday evening. Fern

We're still searching for the tape. I've got the first verse memorized, if that's any help. Second verse is sketchy. I'll be back at work on saturday....Fern

Moonlight, Midnight

If you ever feel lonesome when you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal or borrow two nickels or a dime to call me on the phone
I'll meet you at Alamo Mission, where we can say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us as we kneel there
In the moonlight, in the midnight, in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight

If you ever feel sorrow for the deeds you have done
With no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun
And the ocean is howling for the things that might have been
And that last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever seen
In the moonlight, in the midnight, in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight.

A 1-5-4 progression works on the verse; haven't quite gotten the chorus. Have fun. Fern

The recording of this song that I like is by Tish Hinojosa, on her "Taos to Tennessee" CD. She sings it

...And the wind is howling
Of the things that might've been
And your last good morning's sunrise
Will be the brightest you've ever seen.
