Biography:
Kev Carmody grew up on the Western Darling Downs area of Southern Queensland. His early childhood was simple but happy, mixing mostly with stockmen, drovers, fencers, ring-barkers and timber-getters. His family, although poor lived largely off the land growing vegetables near the small three roomed ant-bed floored hut and hunting and catching everything from kangaroos to fish.
In 1956, when he was ten, Carmody was sent to a “Christian school” which he has described as “little more than an orphanage”.

Moonstruck - Kev Carmody
Capo: 2
[Intro]
D Em7 G D
[Verse 1]
D Em7 G
When the western sky’s ablaze
D
And the sun lays down to rest
D Em7 G
When the curlew starts to cry
D
And the birds fly home to roost
D Em7 G
When the full moon begins to rise
D
Satin moon beams on my face
D Em7 G
Beauty of the night goes far beyond
D D
Far beyond both time and place
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
No-one’s lost who finds the moon
Em7 G
Or the sweetness of the wattle’s bloom
Bm F#m
Rebirth with the rain in spring
A Em7 G
Or the dingo’s howl on the autumn wind
D Em7 G
Spirit of the moon here calls me home ho ho ho home
D D
Spirit of the moon here guides me home
[Verse 2]
D Em7 G
Moon it draws me to the scrub
D
Night voices raised in song
D Em7 G
Past the water lilies bloom
D
In that tranquil billabong
D Em7 G
Walkin’ on the shadowed leaves
D
That are reflected by the moon
D Em7 G
To the rocks and hills an’ caves
D D
Where the dingoe’s pups are born
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
No-one’s lost who finds the moon
Em7 G
Or the sweetness of the wattle’s bloom
Bm F#m
Rebirth with the rain in spring
A Em7 G
Or the dingo’s howl on the autumn wind
D Em7 G
Spirit of the moon here calls me home ho ho ho home
D D
Spirit of the moon here guides me home
[Instrumental]

D Em7 G D
[Verse 3]
D Em7 G
Stars ablazin’ across the sky
D
In the brilliance of the Milky Way
D Em7 G
I’m surrounded by the beauty
D
Of every night and every day
D Em7 G
Walkin’ towards that morning moon set
D
Caress of moonlight on my skin
D Em7 G
Knowin’ that freedom of not carin’
D D
Of why I’m goin’ or where I’ve been
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
No-one’s lost who finds the moon
Em7 G
Or the sweetness of the wattle’s bloom
Bm F#m
Rebirth with the rain in spring
A Em7 G
Or the dingo’s howl on the autumn wind
D Em7 G
Spirit of the moon here calls me home ho ho ho home
