When I passed you in the doorway

Well, you took me with a glance
Em                         D
  I should have took that last bus home
      C                     G
But I asked you for a dance

He says I'm living in a trance

It's alright, alright

It's three o'clock in the morning
        C                G
And I'm on the streets again
Em                    D
  I disobeyed another warning
  C                      G
I should have been in by ten


      Em                   D
Now I won't get out until Sunday
          C                     G
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
Em                         D
Oh, but it's a habit worth forming
      C                        G
If it means to justify the end

Chorus:
D              Em
Dancing in the moonlight
D                       C
  It's caught me in its spotlight

It's alright, alright

The band were led throughout their recording career by bassist, songwriter and singer Phil Lynott, and are best known for their songs Whiskey in the Jar, Jailbreak and The Boys Are Back in Town, all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations.
