[G] By the light of the moon [C] to her fifties tune, [G] he pledged his love to her.
[C] _ _ _
_ [G] A girl so rare, a [C] girl so fair, _
[G] _ a girl for him [D] for sure.
[C] _ _ _
[G] _ To see himself getting up every [C] morning for the rest of his life, [G] just to look in those eyes so [C] blue, _ _
_ [G] was all he ever wanted to [C] do, _ _
_ [G] was all he'd ever need [C] to see him through.

_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] They were still in their teens [C] when he gave her the ring.
_ [G] They were married late one [C] night, _ _
_ [G] and they moved into a little house [C] on the far end of town,
_ [G] out by the big highway.
[C] _ _ _
_ [G] And all through the days, [C] and all through the nights, [G] the cars and the trucks rolled [C] on by. _ _
_ [G] And he slept through it all just [C] fine. _ _
_ [G] Every night he slept [C] just fine. _
_ Sometimes she'd stare at the stars out the window.
_ [Bm] Sometimes she'd walk neath the moon. _ _
_ [C] Sometimes she'd sit there just watching him sleeping, [D] hoping the dawn would come soon. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] She'd done well in school, [C] she'd followed the rules.
_ [G] She'd always stood out from [C] the rest. _ _
_ [G] She'd go off to college [C] and work her way through, _
_ [G] and move to some city out [C] west. _
_ [G] She had it all planned.
[C] She'd have her career.
[G] She'd have all the things that she'd [C] always lacked. _
_ [G] She'd wake up one morning on [C] time, _ _
[G] _ and leave here and never look [C] back. _ _
_ Most of their friends thought it soon would be over. _
_ [Bm] Not many thought it would last. _ _
_ [C] Most seemed to think they were all wrong for each other.
But _ [D] soon it would pass.
_ Soon it would [G] pass.

_ [G] About 20 years have gone, [C] and her kids have moved on.
[G] And she's still on the far [C] end of town. _
_ _ [G] Her youngest, she's living somewhere [C] in L.A.
_ [G] And her oldest, he works on a nearby [C] farm. _
_ _ [G] Her husband comes [A] home, [C] and they talk over supper.
_ [G] He's usually the first to [C] turn in. _
_ [D] _ [G] _ Another day comes [C] to an end.
_ _ _ [G] Another day [A] just [C] ends.
_ _ _ And sometimes in the wee hours when the traffic dies down,
[Bm] She'll hear the sound of some bird on the wind.
_ _ _ [C] She'll look out the window, and she'll look at his picture.
_ [D] [Am] But not at the rain.
[D] _ _ _ Not at the rain.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] She never looks at the rain.
