[Ab] [Db]
[Ab]
[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
[Abm]
