The Moon Song
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Dm G C
[Verse 1]
Dm G C
I'm lying on the moon
Dm G C
My dear, I'll be there soon

Time's we're swallowed up
Fmaj7 Fm C
In space we're here a million miles away
[Verse 2]
Dm G C
There's things I wish I knew
Dm G C
There's no thing I keep from you
Dm G C
It's a dark and shiny place
Dm G
But with you my dear
Fmaj7 Fm C
I'm safe and we're a million miles away
[Verse 3]

Making sure that I'm okay and
Fm C
We're a million miles away
------------------
version 2
The F and Fm chords are held for a single long strum.
The Fmaj7 is just an extra step to join between the C and Dm -
they're played as three beats in quick succession, not a measure.

version 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C
It's not as clear in the original version, but sometimes there's a Cmaj7 in the
bars of C. It's played by lifting your first finger off the B string on the third
strum, like so, and it adds a different sound to the song.

In space we're here a million miles away
There's things I wish I knew

We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day

I'm lying on the moon
My dear, I'll be there soon
It's a quiet starry place
Time's we're swallowed up in space
We're here a million miles away
There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I'd keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear, I'm safe
And we're a million miles away
We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day
Making sure that I'm okay
And we're a million miles away
A million miles away
