Midnight moonlight

Do you ever feel lonesome
And you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal or borrow two nickels or a dime
Call me on the phone
I'll meet you at Alamo Mission
We can say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will hear us
As we kneel there
In the moonlight, in the midnight
In the moonlight midnight moonlight
In the moonlight, in the midnight
In the moonlight midnight moonlight
Did 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
With things that might have been
And that last good morning, sunrise
Would be the brightest you've ever seen

Dear Jakub

The writer's credit on Midnight Moonlight is listed as Peter Rowan. You can find chords for this at the following URL:

www.rukind.com/music/gdtunes.htm

(This is actually a site primarily dedicated to Grateful Dead lyrics, but you'll find other traditional and not-so-traditional tunes performed by "Old and In the Way" - a collaboration among Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, John Kahn and Vassar Clemens in about 1974 - here, too.)

Enjoy!

Well, the prior message didn't turn out (visually) exactly like I'd planned. Guess I'd better learn to type in HTML. Anyway, the chords for each line are there at the beginning of each. Hopefully, you can figure it out. Sorry....
