Chords

[Intro] G C G [Verse 1]
                C
See her how she flies     

G                       Am   G
Golden sails across the sky

C               Am     D
Close enough to touch 

    Bm7            Em
But careful if you try

C          D                Em     C
Though she looks as warm as gold

    G              Am         G
The moon's a harsh mistress

                   C      G
The moon can be so cold
[Verse 2]
                 C
Once the sun did shine 

G                Am    G
Lord, it felt so fine

    C              Am    D
The moon a phantom rose 

            Bm7               Em
Through the mountains and the pines

    C        D        Em     C
And then the darkness fell

        G              Am         G
And the moon's a harsh mistress

                         C
It's so hard to love her well
[Verse 3]
  Bb                Eb
I fell out of her eyes 

Bb                Cm     Bb
I fell out of her heart

  Eb              Cm    F
I fell down on my face 

  Dm7                    Eb
I tripped and  missed my star

Eb              F     Gm     Eb
God, I fell and fell alone

        Bb             Cm         Bb
And the moon's a harsh mistress

                       Eb
And the sky is made of stone

    Bb             Cm         Bb
The moon's a harsh mistress

                        Eb
She's hard to call your own
