Kate Rusby – Hunter Moon (Guitar)

    B
Softly the morning light,

            E
Softly the dew,

B
Softly my soul will bend,

   F#
As she comes in view,

   B
At dawn she is delicate,

               E
And burning by noon,

               F#           G#m F# E
The end of the day will come soon.

                    B
And the stars in my lonely sky,

    E        B
Are infinite bright,

        E             B
And the stars know my soul will fly,

        F#
They're holding it tight.

B
There she is rising now,

   E
My heart it might break,

    B
The birds in her warmth will fly,

   F#
My soul it will ache,

        B
And the world comes alive for her,

       E
In awe at her gaze,

                 F#      G#m F# E
And suddenly the sky is ablaze,

                    B
And the stars in my lonely sky,

      E      B
Are infinite bright,

        E             B
And the stars know my soul will fly,

        F#
They're holding it tight.

B
Say not her name to me,

           E
For I live in the shade,

B
Briefly I see her,

       F#
As she starts to fade,

   B
In silence we pass,

         E
Our path is well worn,

             F#           G#m F# E
In silence I wait for the dawn.

                     B
And the stars in my lonely sky,

      E      B
Are infinite bright,

        E             B
And the stars know my soul will fly,

        F#sus4     F#
They're holding it tight.

B
Calmly I drift along,

            E
Oh I will endure,

 B
I only belong to her,

   F#
Of that I am sure,

     B
Will I ever hold her,

  E
I cannot presume,

    F#       G#m F# E
I'm only the moon.

        E            B
And the stars in my lonely sky,

      E      B
Are infinite bright,

        E             B
And the stars know my soul will fly,

        F#
They're holding it tight.
