G
The moon is slowly rising

G7
It's really not surprising

       C                          G
After all, she's there most every night
 G
Smiling on the lovers

Always shining on the others
    C                              D
And bathing in the sun's reflected light


[Chorus 1]
   C
But later on she's fade away
D
Hidden by the break of day
     G                   C
That always comes too soon
Am
Poor little thing
D/F#                     G
She's just a jealous moon


[Verse 2]
    G
She plays above the water
 G7
Watching sailors, tramps and daughters
  C                                 G
Live their lives and slowly fade away
  G
Night afternight, year after year
   C
Once she knows she'll disappear
  C                             D
Into a world she never gets to stay


[Chorus 2]
   C
But she would give most anything
 D
To open up her heart and sing
 G                 C
But no one hears her tune
   Am
Poor little thing
    D/F#                 G
She's just a jealous moon


[Bridge]
 B7                   C
No one ask her how she got so high
 A7                          D
Way up there forever in the lonely sky


[Verse 3]
 G
She watches through the seasons
G7
Hoping without reason
  C                                 G
That someday someone will call her home
   G
But life goes on without her

No one ever ask about her
 C                              D
Or lets her know that she's not alone


[Chorus 3]
  C
It breaks her heart that down below
  D
Rivers run, flowers grow
  G                        C
But she can't feel them bloom
 Am
Poor little thing
     D/F#                G
She's just a jealous moon


[Verse 4]
  G
The nights are getting colder
  G7
Stars are growing bolder
  C                                G
As they paint their final light across the sky
  G
But closer to the atmosphere

She prays for clouds to disappear
 C                                   D
So she could say goodnight and say goodbye


[Chorus 4]
  C
She never really goes away
  D
Just hidden by another day
  G                       C
That always comes too sounds
   Am
Poor little thingG
     D/F#              G
She's just a jealous moon
  Am
Poor little thing
      D/F#             G
She's just a jealous moon
