Originally I tabbed this without a capo, but after listening and playing through a few times, I think it [Intro] Em C G C x2 [Verse 1]
         G            D    Em             G     D     Em7
I didn't keep a lotta souvenirs after the war

      G            D           Em                    G     D   Em7
And I put aside my strongest desires that ruled me before

      G            D                 Em
And I took all the pain that I could find

          G         D       Em
Till I exploded in electric light

      G          D    Em                    G     D    Em7
Now I wander the open skies, waiting on the storm
[Chorus]
        Em                      G
And the Harvest Moon offers its light

       Em                            C
To the lovers still in love with the night

       Em                      G
I am a weatherman watching the skies

          D
Trying to read you

          Em     C     G     C
Trying to read you
Em C G C [Verse 2]
          G              D        Em                      G     D     Em7
We wanted everything and more and all the world under the night

       G           D            Em                               G     D     Em7
And we burned into something so bright, we could escape from this town

          G          D           Em
Though it seems like foolishness now

          G              D          Em7
I'd do it all again, and still, somehow

          G     D        Em                        G     D    Em7
If in the end I end with you, then that's worth it all
[Chorus]
        Em                      G
And the Harvest Moon offers its light

       Em                            C
To the lovers still in love with the night

       Em                      G
I am a weatherman watching the skies

          D
Trying to read you

        Em                       G
And she dreams of a life without rain

           Em                                 C
But that's something more than my two hands can bring

       Em                      G
I am a weatherman stationed in vain

          D
Trying to please you
[Bridge]
      Em       Dm         C       G     D
And I don't believe you belong to me

      Em          G           D
And I don't wanna know if you go

     Em           Dm              C            G     D
So I wait for the signs, I keep a watch in the night

      Em                 G             D
And I try to with all my might just to read you
[Chorus]
        Em                      G
And the Harvest Moon offers its light

       Em                            C
To the lovers still in love with the night

       Em                       G
I am a weatherman watching the skies

          D
Trying to read you

        Em                       G
And she dreams of a life without rain

           Em                                  C
But that's something more than my two hands can bring

       Em                      G
I am a weatherman stationed in vain

          D
Trying to please you

          Em          C      G     C
Trying to please you

          Em          C      G     C
Trying to please you
Em C G C x2 End
