G            C(9)    C
See her how she flies     
G                       Am7  C   G
Golden sails across the sky
C                 D7sus  D7
Close enough to touch 
Bm7                 C
But careful if you try
C             D7          Em
Though she looks as warm as gold
C       G            Am7
The moon's a harsh mistress
 D7sus  D7          G
The moon can be so cold

[Verse 2]
 G               C(9)    C
Once the sun did shine 
G                 Am7  C   G
Lord, it felt so fine
C                  D7sus  D7
The moon a phantom rose 
   Bm7                          C
Through the mountains and the pines
C               D7     Em
And then the darkness fell
C         G              Am7
And the moon's a harsh mistress
  D7sus    D7              G     
It's so hard to love her well

[Verse 3]
 Bb                Eb
I fell out of her eyes 
Bb                 Cm7  Eb  Bb
I fell out of her heart
Eb               F7sus  F7
I fell down on my face 
Dm7                     Eb
I tripped and  missed my star
Eb                F7   Gm
God, I fell and fell alone,
       Bb         Eb         Cm7
And the moon's a harsh mistress
  F7sus  F7             Bb
And the sky is made of stone
    Bb         Eb        Cm7
The moon's a harsh mistress
F7sus F7                 Bb
She's hard to call your own.
