        VERSE 
 
               E 
Above the dark house 
 
               A 
On a black tar roof 
 
              B7 
Stood the sad milkman 
 
                 E 
In love with the moon 
 
                  E 
She filled up his window 
 
                  A 
With a soft milky light 
                   
                  B7 
He crawled up the chimney  
 
             E      E7 
And into the night 
 
 
        Chorus 
 
                 A 
But the moon she rises 
 
                 E 
And the moon she falls 
 
                   B7 
And her slow white eye 
 
                E 
Sees nothing at all 
 
 
        VERSE 
 
            E 
Down on the sidewalk 
 
                 A 
A crowd gathered round 
 
                                 B7 
They were throwing up bricks and bottles 
 
                 E 
To knock the boy down 
 
             E         E7 
He stood up above them 
 
                      A 
With his hands in the air 
 
                  B7 
Calling up to the moonbeams 
 
                   E     E7 
Come let down your hair 
 
 
 
 
                 A 
But the moon she rises 
 
                 E 
And the moon she falls 
 
                   B7 
And her slow white eye 
 
                E 
Sees nothing at all 
 
 
        VERSE 
 
(fingerpicking) 
 
                  E 
Well he wanted to feel like 
 
            A 
A bucket of milk 
 
               B7 
A sweet summer wind 
 
                 E 
On rolling green hills 
 
(strumming) 
 
             E         E7 
He wanted to climb up 
 
                      A 
From the roof sailing up 
 
               B7 
Upon the night wind 
 
                   E     E7 
To the arms of... 
 
 
 
 
        Chorus 
 
                 A 
But the moon she rises 
 
                 E 
And the moon she falls 
 
                   B7 
And her slow white eye 
 
                E 
Sees nothing at all, oh no 
 
                    A 
And as the moon she rises 
 
                 E 
And the moon she falls 
 
                    B7 
Well her slow white eye 
 
                E 
Sees nothing at all
