DESERT MOON by Dennis Deyoung [Intro] D Bm G A D Bm G ...A D D D D [Verse 1]
    D             
Is this the train to Desert Moon

    Bm
was all she said.

G
But I knew I'd heard that 

A                  D
stranger's voice before.

   D
I turned to look into her eyes, 

        Bm
but she moved away.

        Em
She was standing in the rain.

       C
Trying hard to speak my name.

         Bm         A                G
They say first love never runs dry.
[Verse 2]
    D
The waiter poured our memories 

     Bm
into tiny cups.

     G
We stumbled over 

A                  D
words we longed to hear.

    D
We talked about the dreams we'd lost, 

   Bm
or given up.

         Em
When the whistle caught the night.

          C
And shook silence from our lives.

       Bm
As the last train 

A                 G                    
rolled toward the moon.
[Chorus]
A     D
Those summer nights.When we were young.
We bragged of things, We'd never done.
               G                                    
We were dreamers, 

        A
only dreamers.

D
And in our haste, to grow too soon,
We left our innocence on Desert Moon.
G                                     A
We were dreamers, only dreamers.

                 G
On Desert Moon.

                 D
On Desert Moon.

                 G
On Desert Moon.

           D
Desert Moon.
[Instrumental] F A D Bm G A D Bm G A [Verse 3]
    D
I still can hear the whisper 

       Bm
of the summer nights.

    G                  
It echoes in the 

A                        D
corners of my heart.

D
The night we stood and 

               Bm
waited for the desert train.

        Em       G                      
All the words we meant to say.

        C                   
All the chances swept away.

           Bm       A          G
Still remain on the road to undo.
[Chorus]
A     D
Those summer nights, 
when we were young. We bragged of things we'd never done.
                G
We were dreamers, 

A
only dreamers.

D
Moments pass, 
and time moves on. But dreams remain for just as long,
                 G
As there's dreamers.

                A
All the dreamers.

                  G
On Desert Moon.

                  D
On Desert Moon.

                  G
On Desert Moon.

            D
Desert Moon
