[Verse 1]
C# F#
See her how she flies
Fm7 D#m7 C#maj
Golden sails across the sky
F# G#7sus G#7
Close enough to touch
Fm7 F#
But careful if you try
F# G#7 A#m G# F#
Though she looks as warm as gold

The moon's a harsh mistress
A#m G# F# G#
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
Fm7 D#m7 C#maj
Lord, it felt so fine
F# G#7sus G#7
The moon a phantom rose
Fm7 F#
Through the mountains and the pines
F# A#m7 G# F#
And then the darkness fell
Fm7 D#m9
And the moon's a harsh mistress
A#m7 G# F#
It's so hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
D#m7 C#m7 Bmaj
I fell out of her heart
E F#7sus F#7
I fell down on my face
D#m7 E
I tripped and missed my star
E G#m7 F# E
God, I fell and fell alone,
D# C#m9
And the moon's a harsh mistress
G#m7 F# E
And the sky is made of stone
G#m7 C#m9
The moon's a harsh mistress
F# E Bmaj
She's hard to call your own.
