[Intro] G C D G C D x2 [Verse]
          G        C         D
There's a lady who carries a burden

        G            C            D
And the lines on her face tell it all

      G       C           D
She remembers hearing sad stories

          G         C      D
But still dances at Memory Hall
[Chorus]
        Am               Bm          C        D
And the stars would come out just to see her

        C                       D
And the clouds blew away all too soon

    G            C        D
Her face lit the heavens above her

        G             C      D
She was helped by the Celtic Moon

       G  C  D
Celtic Moon..

       G  C  D
Celtic Moon..
[Verse]
       G                C            D
Once a young girl, with rings on her fingers

         G        C            D
Given to her by a boy she once loved

G              C          D
Barefoot, they sat by the river

        G            C       D
Sharing secrets with god up above
[Chorus]
        Am               Bm          C        D
And the stars would come out just to see her

        C                       D
And the clouds blew away all too soon

    G            C        D
Her face lit the heavens above her

        G             C      D
She was helped by the Celtic Moon

       G  C  D
Celtic Moon..

       G  C  D
Celtic Moon..

       G  C  D
Celtic Moon..

       G  C  D
Celtic Moon..
[Instrumental] G A D G A D Em A D G A D G A D G A D A [Verse]
                       D            E
On a cold night by the roadside she rested

A            D               E
Pale was her skin, tired and worn

    A          D             E
Her beauty had faded through grieving

        A            D                  E
She was too tired to weep, too tired to mourn
[Chorus]
        Bm               C#m         D        E
And the stars would come out just to see her

        D                       E
And the clouds blew away all too soon

    A            D        E
Her face lit the heavens above her

        A             D      E
She was helped by the Celtic Moon

       A  D  E
Celtic Moon..

       A  D  E
Celtic Moon..

       A  D  E
Celtic Moon..

       A  D  E
