Gulf Moon Chords & Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

[INTRO]
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE]
[G]A corner dive down [D/F#]on the square
Where the w[Em]indows hang with a [C]neon flare
Regulars shoot h[D]orse and pool
While the b[G]armaid wishes the place half full
She works the jar with a d[D/F#]iscount flirt
A f[Em]aded Houston [C]Oilers shirt
While an old crow sings [D]down on the stage
[G]Thumbing the chords on a c[D/F#]rinkled page
He [Em]plays his Zevon tune [C]
[D]Beneath a gulf moon

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE]
[G]Take a walk down [D/F#]along the wall
You'll go [Em]right on past the [C]carnival
Hand in hand with the [D]keeper kind
[G]The kind that ties to the ties that bind
Don't care for the [D/F#]carnie man
Or the [Em]fortune teller that [C]reads your hand
You just beeline for a [D]bungalow
Where the c[G]urtains flutter
And [D/F#]candles glow
In the heart of [Em]June [C]
[D]Beneath a gulf moon[G]

[CHORUS]
[D]And here I'm on a [G]midnight porch
[C]Looking up at a butane torch
[D]That hangs behind a [G]black expanse
Where [C]stars flicker and [Em]planets dance
And it's p[D]robably time I p[G]ack it in
With a [C]glass half-full of Jameson
Well I was[Em] born to croon
I might as[C] well
[D]Beneath a gulf moon

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [C] [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE]
[G]Down by the jetty
Near the[D/F#] Balinese Pier
The c[Em]urmudgeons drink the yellow [C]belly beer
And they bitch about the p[D]rice of gas
And the f[G]ish that they can't seem to catch
They blame it on the islands [D/F#]way down south
From the b[Em]ayou marsh and t[C]he delta mouth
Where the choppers roll and the t[D]ankers come
In a m[G]idnight daze for th[D/F#]e oil drum
They [Em]can't leave too soon [C]
[D]Beneath a gulf moon
