Standing on the moon, I'm feeling so alone and blue.

          D           G      C         G
I see the gulf of Mexico, as tiny as a tear.

The coast of California, must be somewhere over here,

Over here.

There's a metal flag beside me, someone planted long ago.

C   G                D       G       C
Old Glory, standing stiffly, crimson, white, and indigo,

I see all of Southeast Asia, I can see El Salvador.

I hear the cries of children, and the other songs of war.

     D             Am           D                   Am     G/B
It's like a mighty melody, that rings down from the sky.

C                              G                 D
Standing here upon the moon, I watch it all roll by,

All roll by, all roll by, all roll by.

Standing on the moon, I see a shadow on the sun.

Standing on the moon, the stars go fading one by one.

          D           G      C         G
I hear a cry of victory, another of defeat.

C   G               D            G       C
A scrap of age-old lullaby, down some forgotten street.

D               G              D            G
Standing on the moon, where talk is cheap, and vision true.

Standing on the moon, but I would rather be with you.

Somewhere in San Francisco, on a back porch in July.

Just looking up to Heaven, at this crescent in the sky,

     G      C
In the sky.

Standing on the moon, with nothing left to do.

A lovely view of Heaven, but I'd rather be with you.
