Lyrics
See her as she (F)flies,
(Bb)golden sails across (F9sus)the sky.
(Bbsus2)She's (Cm7)close (Bb)enough (Eb)to touch,
but be careful if you (Eb6/9)try.
(Eb)Though she looks as warm (F#dim7)(Gm)as gold,
(Eb)the (Bb)moon's a harsh (Cm)mistress.
(F9sus)The moon can be so (Ebmaj9)cold...
(Bbsus2)Once the sun (F)did shine,
(Bb)and oh, it felt (F13sus)so fine.
(Bb)The (Cm7)moon, (Bb)a (Eb)phantom, rose
(F)through the (Bb)mountains (Eb)and the pines,
(Eb)and then the (F#dim7)(Gm)darkness fell.
(Ebmaj7)The (Bb)moon's a harsh (Cm9)mistress.
(F13sus)It's hard to love her (Ebmaj9)well.
(Bbsus2)I (Dbmaj9)fell out of (Gbmaj9)her arms,
(Db)and I fell out of (Ebm)her heart.
(Db)I (Ebm)fell down (Db)on (Gb)my face,
(Ab7sus)and I (Db)tripped and missed (Gb)my star.
(Ebm7)I (Ab9sus)fell and (F7)fell (Bbm7)alone.
(Gb)The (Db)moon's a harsh (Ebm7)mistress.
(Ab9sus)The sky is made (Bbm9)of stone.
(Gb)The (Db)moon's a harsh (Ebm9)mistress,
(Ab9sus)she's hard to call your (Bb)own.
