Biography:
Dead Moon was a Portland, Oregon punk rock band. The band is fronted by singer-songwriter and guitarist Fred Cole; his wife Toody Cole plays bass, and Andrew Loomis plays drums. Formed in 1987, the band combined punk and country in their stripped-down sound.
Fred Cole has engineered most of the band's recordings and mastered them on a mono lathe that was used for The Kingsmen's version of "Louie Louie."
Their early records, such as In the Graveyard

D A D G
Maybe we were meant to be like a heartbeat turning black
D A D G
Wasted like the colors mixed while thieves steal out the black
D A B G
It's like a broken smile, a step apart that gives you style
D A D G
It doesn't need explaining you know it's fall when it starts raining
CHORUS:
D G D
It's just the way it is
G D
It's just the way it is
G A
It's just the way it is
D A D G
Touching through an open flame and sparks begin to fly
D A D G
Looking for another way but you can't help passing by
D A B G
It's not your enemy, it's the sense somehow you won't be free
D A D G
It's only rank and file, trampled love, and walking wild
CHORUS
D A D G
Within the crystal pains that we shattered long ago
D A D G
Alone with what remains it's hard to let you know
D A B G
In a no-win fight, I guess two wrongs don't make a right
D A D G
We're in the dash between the way we are and what we've been
CHORUS (2x)
