Moonshine Time

{slow guitar intro} {12/8 blues shuffle feel} {tube amp edge of breakup}

{slide guitar licks}

The sun is sinking

down beneath the hill

There is a quiet fire

burning at the still (hm-mm-mm) {weathered male vocal}

I hear the water

dripping slow and clear

The finest run we've

made in forty years

{guitar answers vocal}

The glass is ready

and the fire is bright

We are going to

find our peace tonight

{drums build slightly}

Oh it's moonshine time (yeah) Pour the jar

and let it shine

{hook melody playing on slide guitar} My grandaddy showed me

how to cook it right

Underneath the shadow

of the velvet night (ooh-yeah)

The law is sleeping

down in county three

They won't find a trace

of you and me

{blues harp solo riff}

Eighty-five years

walking on this ground

Still the sweetest medicine

I have ever found

{guitars drop out for bass and vocals}

So pass the cup

and let the stories flow

Before the morning light

begins to show {guitar begins to swell} Oh it's

moonshine time (lord have mercy) Pour the jar and let it shine

{triumphant guitar solo}

Moonshine time...

Yeah, it's moonshine time...

(hummm-mm) {guitar fades out with lazy shuffle}
