[Verse 1]
G C(9) C
See her how she flies
G Am7 C G
Golden sails across the sky
C D7sus D7
Close enough to touch
Bm7 C
But careful if you try
C D7 Em
Though she looks as warm as gold
C G Am7
The moon's a harsh mistress
D7sus D7 G
The moon can be so cold
[Verse 2]
G C(9) C
Once the sun did shine
G Am7 C G
Lord, it felt so fine
C D7sus D7
The moon a phantom rose
Bm7 C
Through the mountains and the pines
C D7 Em
And then the darkness fell
C G Am7
And the moon's a harsh mistress
D7sus D7 G
It's so hard to love her well
[Verse 3]
Bb Eb
I fell out of her eyes
Bb Cm7 Eb Bb
I fell out of her heart
Eb F7sus F7
I fell down on my face
Dm7 Eb
I tripped and missed my star
Eb F7 Gm
God, I fell and fell alone,
Bb Eb Cm7
And the moon's a harsh mistress
F7sus F7 Bb
And the sky is made of stone
Bb Eb Cm7
The moon's a harsh mistress
F7sus F7 Bb
She's hard to call your own.
