Verse 1
C 
We are now starting the big
stage show.
Please welcome Rico, John,
Sally and Randy.
Above the dark highways,
F 
on a black Tyrone
G 
Stood the sad milkman
C 
in love with the moon
She filled up his window
F 
with soft milky line
G 
till he crawled 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
Down on the sidewalk
F 
a crowd gathered round
G 
Flinging out bricks and bottles
C 
to knock the boy down
He stood up above them
F 
with his hands in the air
G 
Calling up to the moonbeams,
C 
come let down your head
F 
But the moon she rises
C 
and the moon she falls
G 
And his snow -white eyes
C 
See nothing at all
He wanted to feel like
F 
A bucket of milk
G 
Or sweet summer winds
C 
On rolling green hills
F 
He wanted to fly up from the roof,
G 
through the arms of the night winds,
C 
to the arms of the moon.
F 
But the moon she rises
C 
and the moon she falls
G 
And her slow white eyes
C 
sees nothing at all
F 
But the moon she rises,
C 
and the moon she falls,
G 
and her slow eyed eye
C 
sees nothing at all.
