[D] [A]
[G] [E] [A]
Oh, tonight the West Moon [G] hangs over [A] the harbor, shines down across the [G] headland and out [E] across
the bay, [A] shines down through the trees [G] and rests [A] on the graveyard, the only [Em] reminder
[E] of a long ago [A] day.
[G] [A]
My mind takes me back [G] to a time [A] in that harbor when stout boats at
[Em] anchor doors done [E] the sway, [A] when the laughter of children [Em] sent glad cries [A] to heaven and
women [G] looked seaward [E] from meadows [A] of hay.
[Em]
[A] But no longer I see [G] those fish [A]-covered flakes now,
no green rows of gardens [G] stretched over [E] the hill, [A] no pond in the beach [Em] gleaming red with
[A] fresh copper, no fine [G] sturdy stick [E] freshly cut [A] for a keel.
[Em] [A]
For the government men [G] came
bribing [A] and preaching, they convinced all the livy-ers [G] to just [E] move away.
Now [A] they're scattered
like dried leaves [Em] from hell [A] to high water, but the wind [G] and the West Moon [E] elected [A] to stay.
[G] [A]
So
tonight the West Moon [Em] hangs over [A] the harbor, shines down across the [Em] headland and out across [E] the bay,
[A] shines down through the [G] trees and rests on [A] the graveyard, as if looking [G] for the souls [E] of the
ones moved [A] away.
