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 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 not clutter up the tab. Please keep that in
mind when playing and rating this tab. Thanks.
INTRO:
VERSE:
Where were you
when the saw
mill burned?
I was out figh

randpa's gun
They can follo

hey can
But I can run
quicker when t
here is no sun
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
VERSE:
Yeah the gover
nment of this
state
Ain't the only
way that the
sherrif gets p
aid
You can try to
hide who you
are
But they'll se
e straight thr
ough your char
ade
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
CHORUS:
Where do the h
ound dogs eat
When the peopl
e are frail?
Where does the
smoke from yo
ur lungs go
Once you exhal
e?
What do the co
ckroaches do
With no one 'r
ound?
They live like
the moonshine
rs
Half undergrou
