The Boy With A Moon And Star On His Head Chords by Cat Stevens

[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ Gardener's daughter stopped me on my way [G] on the day I [A] was [D] to [G] wed.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] It is you who [G] I wish to share [E] my [A] body with, [D] she [G] said.
_ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
We'll find a dry place under the sky [G] with a [A] flower for [D] a bed. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [Em] for my joy I [G] will give you a boy [E] with a moon [A] and star [Em] _ [A] _
_ _ [Em] _ [A] _ _ [D] on his head.
[E] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ Her silver hair flowed in the [G] air, laying [A] waves across [F#m] the [D] sun.
_ _ Her
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ hands were like [G] the white sands [Em] and her eyes [A] had diamonds [D] on them.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We left the road [G] and headed [D] up to [G] the top [A] of the _ [D] whisperwood. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] And we walked till [G] we came to where [Em] the [A] holy _ [D] magnolia stood.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ There we laid, [G] cool [D] in the shade, [G] singing songs [A] and making [F#m] love.
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] Where the naked earth [G] beneath us and [Em] the [A] universe _ _ [D] above. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Time was late, [G] my wedding [D] wouldn't wait.
[Bm] I was sad [A] but I had [D] to go. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] So while she was [G] asleep I kissed [Em] her cheek, [A] the _ _ [D] cheerio.
_ The _ _ _ _ _ _ wedding took place and people came [G] from many [A] miles [D] around.
[A] _ _ _ [D] _
[B] _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em]
There was plenty [G] merriment, _ _ [Em]
[A] cider and wine [D] _ abound. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But out of all that I recall I [G] remembered [A] the girl [D] I met.
[G] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Cause she had given [G] me something that [E] my [A] heart could not [D] _ forget. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
The [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _
year _ _ _ _ _ _ had passed and everything was just [G] as it was [A] the year [F#m] before.
[Bm] Or [G] as it was [A] the year [D] before. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Until the [G] gift that someone left, _ [Em] a [A] basket by [D] my door. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And in there lay [G] the fairest [D] little [G] baby crying [A] to [D] be fed. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] I got down on [G] my knees and kissed [Em] the moon [A] and star.
_ [Em] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ On [D] his head. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
As years went by the boy grew high and [G] the village locked [A] on.
[D] In awe, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] they'd never seen [G] anything like the boy [Em] with the moon [A] and star _ [D] before. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ People would ride [G] from far [D] and wide just to [G] seek the [A] word [D] he spread.
_ I'll _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] tell you _ [G] everything I've learned and [E] [A] love is _ all [D] he said. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
