     SHAME ON THE MOON      Rodney Crowell
Intro  G   Em 

G                                 Em
   Till you've been beside a man      you don't know what he wants
G                                      Em
   You don't know if he crys at night      You don't know if he don't
C                       G    C                      G   
   When nothing comes easy      All nightmares are real
Em                   G          Em                          G
Until you've been beside a man        You don't know how he feels
G                               Em
   Once inside a woman's heart      A man must keep his head
G                           Em
   Heaven opens up the door     Where angels fear to tread
C               G     C               G
  Some men go crazy       Some men go slow
Em                          G    Em                   G
Some men go just where they want       Some men never go

CHORUS:
  A#                   G            A#                   G
Ohhhhh   Blame it on midnight      ooooo   Shame on the moon

lead
G                                 Em           
     Everywhere it 's all around      comfort in a crowd 
G                                 Em 
    Stranger's faces all abound       Laughing right out loud
C                           G     C                  G
   Hey watch where you're going  Step light on your toes
Em                  G            Em                          G
Until you've been beside a man       You don't know who he knows.
