Dustin Kensrue – The Light Of The Moon (Guitar)

G                         C             G
When I was young as each day would wind down

        C                                          G
I would walk through the streets of this dusty old town

         Am           G                   C
Past the store and saloon, and the cemetery

           G             D             G
And each night the same lovebirds I'd see

G                                       C       G
They'd smile and they'd wave as they'd amble on by

           C                                          G
They would laugh, tradin' pulls from a flask of cheap rye

       Am            G                          C
And in all the years since I still ain't seen a love

        G              D        G
Near as pure as those old turtledove's

G                                 C          G
One night in the graveyard, only one could I see

         C                                G
On their knees underneath an old sycamore tree

         Am             G                          C
They had tears in their еyes, but a smile on their facе

        G           D              G
While a name on the headstone they traced, whispering   

     C                        G
The light of the moon is the sun

     D      D7          Em
Yet only in darkness it shines

          C                  G
Death and life are harmonies sung

               D       C        G
The two, truly one, as lovers entwined"

G                                  C             G
I drew near them with care, but my words tumbled down

        C                                        G
I said "How can you live when your love's in the ground?"

         Am            G                       C
And they reached up to me and I helped them to stand

                 G             D             G
And they took my face in their old weathered hands, whispering   

C                        G
The light of the moon is the sun

     D      D7          Em
Yet only in darkness it shines

          C                  G
Death and life are harmonies sung

               D       C        G
The two, truly one, as lovers entwined"

G                               C            G
Years passed and that plot grew another gravestone

         C                                      G
And now, breathing the night air, I kneel here alone

     Am             G                            C 
Now grass springing up through the north freshly stirred

      G           D              G
And I smile and recall those old words, whispering   

C                        G
The light of the moon is the sun

    D       D7          Em
Yet only in darkness it shines

           C                 G
Death and life are harmonies sung

               D       C        G
The two, truly one, as lovers entwined"
