As recorded by Donovan (From the 1971 Album HMS DONOVAN) [Intro] C G/B Em F G C G C G/B Em F G C G/B Em F C G [Verse 1]
C           G      Em
The moon is like a boat, my love

F        G     C         G
Of lemon peel afloat, my love

C          G       Em
And with a sail of gauze, my love

F            G        C
She seems to slightly pause

G        Em
Upon her silent way

F          G      C   Em  F G C G
All on her silent way
[Verse 2]
  C       G      Em
I see her pearly decks, my love

F           G         C          G
Set in with twinkling specks, my love

C         G      Em
I see her pearly mast, my love

F            G        C
Far from her seashell past

G          Em
And gently does she sway

F          G      C   Em  F G C G
All on her starry way
[Verse 3]
   C         G         Em
Of silk they have been spun, my love

F              G      C       G
Her ropes that limply run, my love

C           G      Em
Down to her carved prow, my love

F           G       C
Down to her mermaid prow

G          C
And softly doth she sway

F          G      C   Em  F G C G
All on the starry way
[Verse 4]
C          G      Em
All in the sea of sky, my love

F              G        C       G
The moon ships sail and fly, my love

C      G              Em
Though many are their kind, my love

F          G            C
Though all need but one wind

G             Em
To make their starry way

   F          G      C   Em  F G C G
To make their starry way
[Verse 5]
C              G      Em
And there will come a time, my love

F          G     C        G
Oh, may it be in mine, my love

C        G            Em
When men will proudly rise, my love

    F        G        C
And board to sail the skies

G               Em
Moon ships from all the spheres

F               G       C       Em  F G C G
Moon ships from all the spheres
[Verse 6]
C          G         Em
The men be bathed in light, my love

F         G          C         G
The women clothed in white, my love

C           G        Em
All in that wondrous fleet, my love

F           G     C
As each the other meets

     G         Em
Will smile and softly sing

     F         G      C  G Em  F G C G
Will smile and softly sing
[Verse 7]
C           G       Em
And on some distant sand, my love

F              G      C        G
The ships will gently land, my love

C              G         Em
Fair folk will meet them there, my love

     F      G       C
With golden flowing hair

G              Em
And great will be their joy

    F          G        C   Em  F G C G
And great will be their joy
[Outro]
    C       G      Em
The moon is like a boat, my love

F        G     C         G
Of lemon peel afloat, my love

C          G       Em
And with a sail of gauze, my love

    F        G        C
She seems to slightly pause
