                C
Above the dark highways 

                F
on a black tar roof 

               G
stood the sad milkman 

                  C
in love with the moon 

                   C
She filled up his window 

                 F
with soft milky light 

                       G
so he climbed up the chimney 

              C
and into the night 

                  F
But the moon she rises 

                  C
and the moon she falls 

                    G
and her slow white eye 

                C
sees nothing at all 

             C
Down on the sidewalk 

                  F
a crowd gathered round 

                        G
throwing up bricks and bottles 

                  C
to knock the boy down 

              C
He stood up above them 

                       F
with his hands in the air 

                   G
crying up to the moonbeams, 

                     C
"Come let down your hair." 

                  F
But the moon she rises 

                  C
and the moon she falls 

                    G
and her slow white eye 

                C
sees nothing at all 

              C
He wanted to feel like 

             F
a bucket of milk 

                 G
or sweet summer wind 

                   C
on rolling, green hills 

              C
He wanted to fly 

              F
up from the roof 

                      G
up through the night wind 

                    C
to the arms of the moon

                  F
But the moon she rises 

                  C
and the moon she falls 

                    G
and her slow white eye 

                C
sees nothing at all 

                  F
But the moon she rises 

                  C
and the moon she falls 

                    G
and her slow white eye 

                C
sees nothing at all
