NIGHT OF A MILLION MOONS (Mary Karlzen)
---------------------------------------
[The chords are kind of hard to define; see the tab at the end for a better
idea of what's going on.]
C F C F C F C F
[intro]
C F
What seemed to be
C F
A million years ago
C F C F
When the summers were as endless as the days and the sky was as lazy
C F
My mother and I
C F
Would sit on the concrete steps
G F G F
And watch the wind blow through the grass
G D7/F# F
We saw the dogs run, and watched my brothers pass
C F
And I looked at my mother
C F
As we silently watched the wind
G F G F
And without a single word
G D7/F# F
We'd rise up, and go in
C Bb G G
Welcome to the night of a million moons
C Bb G G
Welcome to the future which comes all too soon
F G F Am
And I reached for the light as if I could stop the past somehow
F G C F
From colliding against what is now
C F C F
Welcome to the night of a million moons
C F C F
[repeat and fade instrumental]
