                C 
Above the dark highways  
                F 
on a black tar roof  
               G 
stood the sad milkman  
                  C 
in love with the moon  

                   C 
She filled up his window  
                 F 
with soft milky light  
                       G 
so he climbed 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  

             C 
Down on the sidewalk  
                  F 
a crowd gathered round  
                        G 
throwing up bricks and bottles  
                  C 
to knock the boy down  

              C 
He stood up above them  
                       F 
with his hands in the air  
                   G 
crying up to the moonbeams,  
                     C 
"Come let down your hair."  

                  F 
But the moon she rises  
                  C 
and the moon she falls  
                    G 
and her slow white eye  
                C 
sees nothing at all  

              C 
He wanted to feel like  
             F 
a bucket of milk  
                 G 
or sweet summer wind  
                   C 
on rolling, green hills  

              C 
He wanted to fly  
              F 
up from the roof  
                      G 
up through the night wind  
                    C 
to the arms of the moon 

                  F 
But the moon she rises  
                  C 
and the moon she falls  
                    G 
and her slow white eye  
                C 
sees nothing at all  

                  F 
But the moon she rises  
                  C 
and the moon she falls  
                    G 
and her slow white eye  
                C 
sees nothing at all
