Silver moon (1970)    (video)

 

    D ~

 

        D                                          A

1. See the lazy windmills slowly turning,

     G                      A                                D

    cutting up the marble canyons of the sky.

       D                                                 A

    See the dust around my feet go churning,

       G                                               A                          D

    moving with the winds down the highways of goodbyes.

 

   D                                                             A

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon,

  G                                A                         D

looking over maps of memories for the road.

   D                                                             A

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moon,

               G                         A                  D

with the unexpected destination of my home.

 

      D                                                          A

2. Half the thoughts I'm thinking speak in sighs,

                  G                         A                  D

    as that same old wave of loneliness returns.

           D                                                A

    And I can see you when I close my eyes,

        G                  A                  D

    speaking very softly as you turned.

 

+  CHORUS          +  D - A - G - A - D

 

     Em  A          D   Em  G        A    - A7

+  Now  I must go,  go and let go !

 

+  CHORUS ...
