[Ab]
[Abm] The moon wanted more of my [Db] night I turned off the engine and the [Ab] headlights
[Bbm] trees appeared [Ab] as [Eb] they'd never been gone I
[Bbm] promised the fields [Ab] I'd [Eb] return from now on
And the [Ab] moon kept on [Db] rising, [Bbm] there was no more to say
[Ab] [Eb] put my road maps away and [Ab]
surrendered the day

[Abm] _ _ _ The moon wanted more of my [Db] night _ I _ _ turned off the engine and the _ _ [Ab] headlights
_ The _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ trees _ appeared _ [Ab] as _ [Eb] they'd never been gone _ I _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ promised the fields _ [Ab] _ I'd [Eb] return from now on _ _ _ _
_ _ And the [Ab] moon _ kept on [Db] _ rising, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] there was no more to say
_ I _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] put my road maps away _ and _ _ _ [Ab] _
surrendered the day _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] And I know you'll be [Eb] calling me soon _ [Ab] And if I [Eb] don't answer _
[Fm] I'm _ [Ab] _ [Db] calling the moon
_ I was [Eb] calling her then, _ [Ab] I'm wondering will she [Db] take me [Ab] again _ _
[Db] _ Oh, _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ I'm calling [Ab] the moon _
When _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I _ called the moon [Db] back to me _ I _ _ _ _ _ thought all she wanted was _ _ _ [Ab]
beauty
_ _ I [Bbm] _ _ _
showed her the best [Ab] _
_ [Eb] that vanity _ buys I _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ covered the path _ [Ab] where my [Eb] life turned to lies _ _ _ _ _
And [Ab] the moon kept on [Db] _
rising, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ but I [Bbm] felt nothing at all
[Ab] She _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] shines on crumbling walls _ _ when _ the [Ab] _ empire _ _ falls _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] And I know you'll [Eb] be calling me [Ab] soon And if [Eb] I don't answer [Db] I'm _ _ _ calling the moon _
By the [Eb] name that she [Ab] chose, _ _ Tennessee _ wondered, [Db] and moth even [Ab] roves
[Db] _ _
Oh, _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] I'm calling the moon
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, make sense of [Db] me, night _ I _ _ _ _ _ can see so much from this [Ab] cold light _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ The moon _ said, _ _ [Ab] _ now [Eb] my work is done _ I've _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
poured this [Ab] _ bottle _ of light from [Eb] the sun _ _
_ _ And [Ab] their anger _ keeps on [Db] _ _ rising, _ _ _ they _ _ _ _
[Bbm] don't understand
_ _ [Ab] _
I've _ shown them [Eb] all that I can, _ _ _ _ _ _ but the [Ab] world is at [Db] hand _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] And I know you'll [Eb] be calling me soon [Ab] And if [Eb] I don't answer [Ab] _ _ I'm [Db] calling the moon
_ _ _ [Eb] I can see by the light, [Abm] this one's going [Eb] [Abm] out to the [Db] moon _ tonight _
_ _ Oh, _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ I'm [Ab] calling the moon
_ Calling the [Db] moon, _ _ _ I [Ab] was calling her then I'm wondering _ [Eb] will she [Db] take me [Ab] again _ _
Oh, _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] I'm calling [Ab] the _ moon
