Chords for Mark Stepakoff - New Moon

[Bb] _ _ _ _ Thank you. _ _
It's a pleasure to be here and be part of this night. _ _
This first song I'm going to play for you, I wrote for a friend of mine,
_ _ a good buddy of mine on the local music scene, great songwriter.
_ And about a year or so ago, he decided he needed to make a brand new start.
_ So he _ packed up all his belongings, which really didn't amount to very much,
_ and he threw them into a truck, he loaded the truck with lumber,
_ and he drove it out to Idaho to start over.
_ So I'll send this out to him wherever he might be tonight,
and _ to all of our faraway friends. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Looks like we've arrived at [F] some kind of [Bb] farewell
[Eb] Where you'll be tomorrow, there's no [Bb] way to tell
[Eb] But you'll move on from here and [Bb] your slate will be clean [F] when you go
[Bbm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] Don't dwell on the what [F]-ifs and what might [Bb] have been
[Eb] Just know that when something ends, [Bb] something begins
[Eb] Though what that new beginning [Bb] will look like, it's too [F] soon to know
_ _ _ A [Gm] blue moon comes [Dm] every so often, [Eb] the harvest moon [F] comes in the fall
[Bb] They light up the night [Eb] as they shine [Gm] clear and [Bb] bright
But you can't [F] see a new [Gm] moon at all, [Bb] no you [F] can't see a new [Bb] moon at all _ _ _
_ I have a good [F] friend who keeps [Bb] telling me
[Eb] That I'm in control of my own [Bb] destiny
[Eb] With all due [Bb] respect, that leaves me [F] a little perplexed _
_ _ [Bb] Because though our [F] destinies may not be [Bb] known
[Eb] By definition, they're written [Bb] in stone
[Eb] Meanwhile I'm [Bb] excited to find out [F] what happens next
_ _ _ [Gm] The cold moon that comes [Dm] in December [Eb] can glow like [F] a big yellow ball
[Bb] But come the new year, it [Eb] will soon [Gm] disappear
[Bb] And you [F] can't see a new [Gm] moon at all, [Bb] no you can't see [F] a new [Bb] moon at all
[Eb] It will wax, [F] it will [Bb] wane, then will [Dm] vanish again
[Eb] But of [Bb] course it's still there, [Cm] [F] hasn't gone [Bbm] anywhere
[F] I _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] look up and see [Fm] _ [Dm] [Eb] constellations, whose names I can [Bb] hardly [F] recall
You [Bb] can watch them align, look [Eb] for some [Gm] kind of sign
[Bb] But you [F] can't see a new [Gm] moon at all, [Bb] no you can't see [F] a new [Bb] moon at all _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
