Verse:
EmD
When I passed you in the doorway
CG
Well, you took me with a glance
EmD
I should have took that last bus home
CG
But I asked you for a dance
EmD
Now we go steady to the pictures
CG
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
EmD
And my father he's going crazy
CG
He says I'm living in a trance
Chorus:
DEm
But I'm dancing in the moonlight
DC
It's caught me in its spotlight
G
It's alright, alright
Em
Dancing in the moonlight
DCG -nc-
On this long hot summer night
Verse:
EmD
It's three o'clock in the morning
CG
And I'm on the streets again
EmD
I disobeyed another warning
CG
I should have been in by ten
EmD
Now I won't get out until Sunday
CG
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
EmD
Oh, but it's a habit worth forming
CG
If it means to justify the end

DEm
Dancing in the moonlight

It's caught me in its spotlight

It's alright, alright

Thin Lizzy are an Irish hard rock band who formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1969. 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. After Lynott died, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years culminating in a more stable line-up based around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes.
Thumb Position Check. For bar chords, place the thumb lower on the neck for leverage. For open chords, let it sit higher. Small thumb adjustments reduce hand strain and improve clarity immediately.
