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

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

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

Every man in the mission tonight

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

When everything you own

Will fit in a paper sack

No one notice you leavin'

Nobody ask you when you comin' back baby
