[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
The [Eb] moon wanted more [Ab] of my night [Ebm] I [Ab]
[Eb] turned off the engine [Ab] and the
[Eb] headlights
[Fm] The trees [Bb]
[Cm] appeared as [Bb] they'd never [Eb] been gone [Bb] I promised [Cm] the fields [Bb] I'd return [Eb] from now [Bb] on
And [Eb] the moon kept [Ab] on [Eb] rising I [Bb] had no more to say
I put my roadmaps away [Eb] and surrendered the day
And [Ab] I know you'll be [Bb] calling me soon [Eb] And if I don't answer I'm calling [Ab] the moon
[Fm] Calling the moon, [Bb] calling her then [Eb] I'm wondering, will [Cm] she take [Eb] me again?
[Ab] Oh, [Bb] I'm calling [Eb] the moon
When I called the moon [Ab] back to me I [Eb] thought she [Ab] wanted my [Eb] beauty
[Fm] I shone in the best
[Bb] that vanity buys [Fm] I covered the path [Bb] where my life [Gm] turned to [Eb] lies
And the moon kept [Ab] on [Eb] rising But I [Fm] felt nothing at all
She comes [Bb] when the empire falls And [Eb] shines on crumbling walls
[Fm] Calling the moon [Bb] by the name that she chose [Eb] As [Gm] Tennessee wandered [Cm] in Martha [Eb] Eden Rose
[Ab] Oh,
[Bb] I'm calling [Eb] the moon
Calling [Fm] the
[Bb] [Eb] [Gm]
[Cm] [Ab] [Bb] moon
Oh, I'm [Eb] calling the moon
Oh, make sense of [Ab] me, night I [Eb] can't see so much from [Ab] this cold [Eb] height
[Fm] The moon's shadowed darkness [Bb] My work is done
[Fm] I've [Bbm] poured [Bb] this bottle of light [Eb] from [Bb] the sun But [Eb] their anger keeps [Ab] on [Eb] rising
And [Fm] they don't understand I've shown [Bb] them all that I can
That [Eb] the world is at hand
[Ab] And I know [Bb] they'll be calling me soon
[Eb] And if I don't answer I'm only [Fm] there I [Bb] can see by her light
[Eb] This world's [Gm] going out to [Cm] the moon tonight
[Ab] Oh, [Bb] I'm calling [Eb] the moon
Calling [Fm] the [Bb] moon
I know what it's worth [Eb] To tug at the sea [Cm] and a loom in the earth
[Ab] Oh, I'm [Bb] calling [Cm] the moon
Oh, [Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
[Bb] I'm calling [Eb] the moon
