Just Like The Moon

---------------------------------------------

[This song is actually in Eb. These chords - in G - are played with

a capo on the 8TH FRET. Another guitar plays in D with a capo on the

1st fret, but those chords aren't nearly as much fun to play.]

[In the parts that go G C D D, the D alternates between D and D(9),

but I think the guitar in A (capo 1) is playing A and Asus4.]

 

I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair

And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere

And the sky turned water color pink and gold and blue

And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon

C - G/B C - G/B

And I thought about you and I wondered why I

C - G/B Am Am

Took so long to say goodbye

C - G/B C - G/B

Oh you shined so bright you blinded me

C - G/B Am Am

And left me so I couldn't see

C(9) G D D

That I was the moon chasing the sun

There was never a prayer of ever catching up

C(9) G D D

No matter how fast I would run

Like the moon chasing the sun

Just like the moon chasing the sun

 

The crickets called and the moon peeked out of the eastern sky

They both start up about this time each night

And the evening breeze dropped by and brought some sweet relief

And in the silver light I finally let go of the heat

And I thought about you and I wondered why

I took so long to say goodbye

Oh you shined so bright you blinded me

And left me so I couldn't see

That I was the moon chasing the sun

There was never a prayer of ever catching up

No matter how fast I would run

Like the moon chasing the sun

Just like the moon chasing the sun
