[A] [C] [G] [D] [A] [C] [G] [D]
[A]It’s been a long night, [C]with a heavy load
[G]And now my high beams are shining on [D]my babies road
Gonna [A]pick up some clay on the [C]tread of these tires
[G]Have ourselves a hell of [D]a night, [C]look up in that Carolina [D]sky


[A]Let that moonshine, all night, take your breath [G]away [Em]
[D]Like an old sweet song daddy used to [A]play
[A]And it takes me back to a simpler place and [Em]time
[D]When we used to kick back, and let the [A]moonshine
So let the [G][Em][D]moonshine [A]


[A] [C] [G] [D] [A] [C] [G] [D]
It’s [A]been a long time, since we [C]felt that creek
[G]Running cold and clear over our [D]bare feet
[A]Baby you don’t know [C]that this right here
[G]Is the same water my home man used in [D]his still
I [C]still remember what he used to [D]say


[A]Let that moonshine, all night, take your breath [G]away [Em]
[D]Like an old sweet song daddy used to [A]play
[A]And it takes me back to a simpler place and [Em]time
[D]When we used to kick back, and let the [A]moonshine
So let the [G][Em][D]moonshine [A]


[A] [C] [G] [D] [A] [C] [G] [D]
[C]It burns me up and lights a fire in my [D]soul [A]
[C]Well get you a sip, and let the whiskey [G]take [D]control


[A]Let that moonshine, all night, take your breath [G]away [Em]
[D]Like an old sweet song daddy used to [A]play
[A]And it takes me back to a simpler place and [Em]time
[D]When we used to kick back, and let the [A]moonshine
So let the [G][D]moonshine [A]
