The moon

Verse 1
G 
was a man,
grew up in Maryland
Mom was a waitress,
extra hours to make it
Mama, aprons and hairnets,
D 
G 
dead, died, no assets
D 
G 
Last words were flip, sprint,
Gm 
keep your feet set
G 
To the streets, yeah, fly suits and sheets
Save it for a hot ride,
one that doesn't overheat
Bought a gold watch
D 
G 
and his mama some cool clocks
Feet weren't set, got caught,
and that shit stopped
Busted, doing time in a pen, pen
Push -ups, pull -ups, ten sets, ten, yo
D 
G 
D 
G 
Locked in, you need heart to survive
Keep your feet set,
hope to come out alive

G 
TV and stretching,
high reps relax
Hollow body hold,
in a cell with the bars
closed and chin hangs,
he would stretch while the yard lifts everyday
Gm 
G 
a thousand dips, his own privileges
Gm 
he walks the gymnast,
G 
pan -american games
european artist,
practice moves on the hard carpet
but he's 42,
D 
G 
in a pod shaped like a allen
screw fellas in great shape,
had hops like the kangaroo
Gm 
G 
the moon, watch the competitions
new stats, yo i'm better than those cats
D 
G 
the moon, you need heart to survive
Every day a struggle,
keep your mind live
It's Monday,
the morning that the moon's free
Five years and four months,
expired state ID
D 
G 
He's walking home,
his mother moved across country
Gm 
He has a brother named Gary now,
G 
Gm 
G 
and his stance is married now
He's all alone,
the moon's set on this old street
All he had was a gold watch
and butterscotch motif
On the corner,
his spot used to be a Brindle's
He posts up and checks out the
actions through the window

Finally set free,
Gsus4 
Dm 
D 
all on his own now,
C 
G 
no longer in custody
C 
G 
Gm 
The Moon, he had hard to survive
G 
Gm 
A thousand push -ups before
G 
Gm 
G 
lights on  at five
There's trampolines, springs,
Gm 
talcum rings and folding mats
G 
D 
G 
Parallel bars used by the
young acrobats
Aerial flight clicks,
who the hell is this cat?
Gm 
G 
Fogging up the window,
stomping ground, old Habitat
Gm 
G 
Coach comes out, yo my man,
F 
Dm 
D 
says fellow what's the damn   deal?
Gm 
G 
If  you're looking for a hot meal,
the test has baked field
Can parents survive, my man,
and how will they feel?
Fella outside while they kids
doing cartwheels
Gm 
G 
Gm 
Cut s  him off,
G 
Dm 
D 
G 
D 
takes off his shoes to his socks
G 
Says coach, see that horse man,
let's give this fellow one shot
I can be better than,
better than old JJ
Handspringin' Yamashita,
D 
you're a chinka if you want, call me Moon
G 
I had a hard life, I know I'm 42,
I flipped cause my father told me to
Gm 
G 
It's not my arm, it's not my ankle,
not my knee, and not my neck
I don't care about your story,
Gsus4 
G 
but you will give me       respect
D 
G 
I will let you do your trick,
D 
G 
just promise me that you'll leave
I guarantee that outcome
will not be as you believe
Moon steps in, heart pumpin' adrenaline
Kids have a laugh,
Gsus4 
G 
this fella       can't be American
Takes off for the fall, working up speed
D 
Dm 
D 
People cover their eyes,
G 
nothing's guaranteed
C 
G 
His head's bobbing,
like mama feeding baby Robin
C 
F 
C 
Hits the spring so hard,
G 
D 
like jail bars locking
G 
Loud ring, like the birth of a king
Gm 
Twenty feet in the air, the moon had wings
G 
C 
Ten somersaults, power and speed
F

Cm 
G 
Lands like a feather,
D 
G 
just what the team needs
Everyone gasps,
G 
what humans can achieve
