[VERSE 1]

                C
Above the dark highways
                F
on a black tar roof
               G
stood the sad milkman
                  C
in love with the moon
                   C
She filled up his window
                 F
with soft milky light
                       G
so he climbed up the chimney
              C
and into the night

[CHORUS]

                  F
But the moon she rises
                  C
and the moon she falls
                    G
and her slow white eye
                C
sees nothing at all

[VERSE 2]

             C
Down on the sidewalk
                  F
a crowd gathered round
                        G
throwing up bricks and bottles
                  C
to knock the boy down
              C
He stood up above them
                       F
with his hands in the air
                   G
crying up to the moonbeams,
                     C
"Come let down your hair."

[CHORUS]

                  F
But the moon she rises
                  C
and the moon she falls
                    G
and her slow white eye
                C
sees nothing at all

[VERSE 3]

              C
He wanted to feel like
             F
a bucket of milk
                 G
or sweet summer wind
                   C
on rolling, green hills
              C
He wanted to fly
              F
up from the roof
                      G
up through the night wind
                    C
to the arms of the moon

[CHORUS]

                  F
But the moon she rises
                  C
and the moon she falls
                    G
and her slow white eye
                C
sees nothing at all

                  F
But the moon she rises
                  C
and the moon she falls
                    G
and her slow white eye
                C
sees nothing at all
