                                    ^ you can just play the top three strings if you want (power chords)                  

 When the night falls, the big moon's gonna rise
 You can look right up, see it in the sky
 Makes feel like I'm gonna blow a fuse
 I start to shiver and shake with a strange kind of blues

 But I like it (feedback from amp)

 I see it now, the moon is high above
 It's got a hold on me, but i just can get enough
 Big, round, black and white
 I feel the pull, I see the light
 Big bad moon's looking down on me tonight 

 But I like it (feedback from amp)

 When the moon comes, got nowhere to hide
 It can turn your head around, like he turns the tide
 Man, woman, boy, child, 
 Make you feel like you were born wild 
 Big Bad Moon's looking down on me tonight
 But I like it, I like it 

 Talkin' about big bad moon
 Oh yeah, big bad moon
