 G5            C5    C5
See her how she flies     
G5                       A5  C5   G5
Golden sails across the sky
C5                 D5  D5
Close enough to touch 
B5                 C5
But careful if you try
C5             D5          E5
Though she looks as warm as gold
C5       G5            A5
The moon's a harsh mistress
 D5  D5          G5
The moon can be so cold
 G5               C5    C5
Once the sun did shine 
G5                 A5  C5   G5
Lord, it felt so fine
C5                  D5  D5
The moon a phantom rose 
   B5                          C5
Through the mountains and the pines
C5               D5     E5
And then the darkness fell
C5         G5              A5
And the moon's a harsh mistress
  D5    D5              G5     
It's so hard to love her well

 Bb5                Eb5
I fell out of her eyes 
Bb5                 C5  Eb5  Bb5
I fell out of her heart
Eb5               F5  F5
I fell down on my face 
D5                     Eb5
I tripped and  missed my star
Eb5                F5   G5
God, I fell and fell alone,
       Bb5         Eb5         C5
And the moon's a harsh mistress
  F5  F5             Bb5
And the sky is made of stone
    Bb5         Eb5        C5
The moon's a harsh mistress
F5 F5                 Bb5
She's hard to call your own.
