Just Like The Moon

JUST LIKE THE MOON (Kim Richey & Tia Sillers)

E|--------------------------------

E|-------------| 

[This song is actually in Eb.  These
 chords - in G - are played with
 a capo on the 8TH FD T.  Another 
guitar plays in D with a capo on the
 1st fret, but those chords aren't 
nearly as much fun to play.]
[In the parts that go G C D D, the D
 alternates between D and D(9),
 but I think the guitar in A (capo 
1) is playing A and Asus4.]

an old lawn chair

And I watched the sun set off for

business west somewhere
          Em             C        
And the sky turned water color 
     G           D
pink and gold and blue
        Em                   C    
And the stars all showed up one by
             G              D
 one and we waited for the moon

        C     -     G/B      
And I thought about you and I 
  C    -    G/B
wondered why I

The crickets called and the moon 
peeked out of the eastern sky
They both start up about this time 
each night
And the evening breeze dropped by 
and brought some sweet relief
And in the silver light I finally 
let go of the heat

And I thought about you and I 
wondered why
I took so long to say goodbye
Oh you shined so bright you blinded 
me
And left me so I couldn't see

That I was the moon chasing the sun
There was never a prayer of ever 
catching up
No matter how fast I would run
Like the moon chasing the sun
Just like the moon chasing the sun
