[F#m] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
_ There's a house somewhere I know [E] Where the [F#m] fires burn [E] all night [A] long _
_ There's a sweep outside on the porch Where [E] I [F#m] feel I could rock [E] away [F#m] the dusk till
the dawn _ _ _ [A] [Bm] And even though the [A] wind may now be howlin'
_ Stars are bright [D] and they push me [E] on and on
[A] There's a half-moon risin' in southeastern skies
[D] There's a [A] cold wind blowin' across the great divide
And [D] the [A] stars they [E] guide my way across the [F#m] night
There's [D] a [A] half-moon _
[E] risin'
Pushin' [A] me on over another mountaintop Push me on, no I'll never [E] stop
Push me on
[F#m] There's a half [E]-moon risin' in southeastern skies tonight
[D] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] Now [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ [F#m] _ [F] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ the shoes on my feet, the soles are broken [E] [F#m] down
And my [A] coat's tattered and worn
And the hunger in my belly and the fever in my [E] [F#m] head
[E] Will vanish at my [F#m] first glimpse of home _ _
_ _ [Bm] And even though the rain may [A] now be fallin'
_ [B] [D] Passion is deep, it pushes [A] me [E]
on
[F#m] [D] There's a half [A]-moon [E] risin' in [A] southeastern skies
There's a cold wind blowin' across the great divide
And the stars they guide [E] my way across [F#m] the night
[D] There's a [A] half-moon [E] risin' _
Pushin' me [A] on over another [E] mountaintop Push me [A] on, no I'll never [E] stop
Push me on
[F#m] There's a half [A]-moon [E] risin' in southeastern [A] skies [D] tonight _ _

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ a still at dawn [D] like the sound [A] of your love's [F#m] breath
As [E] she [A] lies sleepin' down below me now
In the valley is the only peace [E] on earth [F#m] that I [A] ever want to [D] know
_ _ And _ [A] [Bm] her lips are as [E] soft as [A] I remember _ _
She [D] alone has brought me [E] back on home
[A] [D] There's a [A] half-moon risin' in southeastern skies
There's a cold wind blowin' [E] across the great [A] divide
And the stars they [E] guide my way [F#m] across the night
There's [D] a [A] half-moon _ [E] risin'
Pushin' me [A] on over another [E] mountaintop Push [A] me on, no I'll [E] never stop
Push me on
