[VERSE 1]
C
Above the dark highways
F
on a black tar roof
G
stood the sad milkman
C
in love with the moon
C
She filled up his window
F
with soft milky light
G
so he climbed up the chimney
C
and into the night
[CHORUS]
F
But the moon she rises
C
and the moon she falls
G
and her slow white eye
C
sees nothing at all
[VERSE 2]
C
Down on the sidewalk
F
a crowd gathered round
G
throwing up bricks and bottles
C
to knock the boy down
C
He stood up above them
F
with his hands in the air
G
crying up to the moonbeams,
C
"Come let down your hair."
[CHORUS]
F
But the moon she rises
C
and the moon she falls
G
and her slow white eye
C
sees nothing at all
[VERSE 3]
C
He wanted to feel like
F
a bucket of milk
G
or sweet summer wind
C
on rolling, green hills
C
He wanted to fly
F
up from the roof
G
up through the night wind
C
to the arms of the moon
[CHORUS]
F
But the moon she rises
C
and the moon she falls
G
and her slow white eye
C
sees nothing at all
F
But the moon she rises
C
and the moon she falls
G
and her slow white eye
C
sees nothing at all
