(3/4 time) 
 
(Chorus) 
   G                         G7
If I was the man in the moon  
    C             D7        G
I'd shine down my light for you 
     C       D7         G             Em
Each silvery beam would caress you in dreams 
        A                       D  D7
Like my two loving arms used to do  
    G                         G7
I'd watch over you every night 
C         D7          G
Never too late or too soon 
    C         D7
But always on time 
   G                Em
My love light would shine 
   A         D7         G
If I was the man in the moon 
D7 
 
G                                     G7
Some say it's better to love and then lose 
     C     D7            G
Than never have loved at all 
     D7                 G              Em
It's hard to return the love that once burned 
       A                       D      D7
To the cold lonely world where nobody calls 

(Repeat Chorus)2 bar break  
 
I'm only a phone call away from your voice 
But our lives have grown so far apart 
I'd have less resistance way up in the distance 
Sending my love light straight into your heart 
 
(Repeat Chorus)(end with) 
But always on time 
My lovelight would shine 
If I was the man in the moon
