VERSE:
   G       D
When everything you own
   G         D
Will fit in a paper sack
  G         D
And no one notice you leavin'
    G            D
Nobody ask you when you comin' back


VERSE:
   G        D
You live in a rented room
   G         D
Your money run out too soon
    G
You've pawned all your hopes
 D
Bummed all your smokes
     G          D
And you leave by the quarter moon


CHORUS:
 F           Em
Quarter moon better than none
      G     Dm  D
When you travel the night road
 F            Em
Quarter moon better than none
     G    Dm  D  D G D
When you carry a light load


VERSE:
   G      D
And every bowery bum
       G           D
You know was somebody's mothers son
  G         D
He never mean to hurt nobody
     G          D
Just a-drinkin' to have his fun


VERSE:
 G           D
Drinkin' away the good times
 G        D
Drinkin' away the bad
   G          D
And nobody know where a poor man go
     G            D
When he lose everything that he had


CHORUS:
 F           Em
Quarter moon better than none
      G     Dm  D
When you travel the night road
 F            Em
Quarter moon better than none
     G    Dm  D  D G D
When you carry a light load


BREAK:
 Am7       Em7
Every man in the mission tonight
   D
Is dreamin' whiskey shadows
    Am          C     Em
Where heaven is lined with bottles of wine
   D        D   Am7  C  D G D  D G D
And deep sparkling meadooooooows


VERSE:
   G       D
When everything you own
   G         D
Will fit in a paper sack
G         D
No one notice you leavin'
    G            D
Nobody ask you when you comin' back baby


VERSE:
   G        D
You live in a rented room
   G         D
Your money run out too soon
    G
You've pawned all your hopes
 D
Bummed all your smokes
     G          D
And you leave by the quarter moon


CHORUS:
 F           Em
Quarter moon better than none
      G     Dm  D
When you travel the night road
 F            Em
Quarter moon better than none
     G    Dm  D
When you carry a light load
