Everyones Gone To The Moon

Jonathan King admitted that this was basically just a spoof of 'poetic'

lyrics that had become the rage during the folk-rock scare of 1965.

While he never had another US hit, he went on to a long career as a

musical prankster in the UK, releasing a lengthy string of novelty

records (including an 'ooga-chaka' cover of 'Hooked On A Feeling' years

before Blue Swede) under a wide variety of studio aliases. He also

discovered (and named) Genesis, but even I don't detest Phil Collins

enough to call that his biggest prank of all. -- AWR

"Everyone's Gone To The Moon"

(Jonathan King)

Ebmaj7 Ab Bb [2X]

/ / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

Streets full of people

All alone

Roads full of houses

Never home

Church full of singing

Out of tune

Fm7 Bb [1,3: Ebmaj7 Ab Bb] [2: Eb; to bridge]

Everyone's gone to the moon

Verse 2:

Eyes full of sorrow

Never wet

Hands full of money

All in debt

Sun coming out in

The middle of June

Everyone's gone to the moon

Long time ago

(Bb)

Life has begun

Everyone went to the sun

Verse 3:

Hearts full of motors

Painted green

Mouths full of chocolate

Covered cream

Arms that can only

Lift a spoon

Everyone's gone to the moon

Coda:

Everyone's gone to the moon

Fm7 Bb [N.C.] Eb

Everyone's gone to the moon
