John Prine
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
  I got a friend in Fremont, he sells used cars, ya know
Well, he calls me up twice a year
                        G7
Just to ask me how'd it go
        C                         G
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
      D7                                   G
But actually everything is just about the same
[Verse 2]
G
 I met a girl from Venus, her insides were lined in gold
Well, she did what she did, said "How was it, kid?"
                  G7
She was politely told
        C                          G
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
      D7                                   G
But actually everything is just about the same
[Chorus]
C                    G
Moonlight makes me dizzy
C                   G
Sunlight makes me clean
C                            G
Your light is the sweetest thing
     C                  D7
That this boy has ever seen
[Verse 3]
G
 Molly went to Arkansas, she got raped by Dobbin's dog
Well, she was doing good till she went in the woods
                             G7
And got pinned up against a log
        C                            G
Pretty good, not bad, she can't complain
       D7                                       G
Cause actually all them dogs is just about the same
[Chorus]
C                    G
Moonlight makes me dizzy
C                   G
Sunlight makes me clean
C                            G
Your light is the sweetest thing
     C                  D7
That this boy has ever seen

[Verse 4]
G
 I heard Allah and Buddah were singing at the Savior's feast
And up in the sky an Arabian rabbi
                       G7
Fed Quaker oats to a priest.
        C                             G
Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain
        D7                                       G
Cause actually all them Gods are just about the same
         C                        G
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
        D7                                   G
Cause actually everything is just about the same
