Moon chords

Capo 1

[D]I took a rocket to the moon once, on a [Em]night a long time ago
[D]The night I shuttled to the moon was quite a [Em]fright and very cold
[Bm]Look out the window see the Earth disappear [Em]
[Bm]The shuttle lands and it was clear
I’m [Em]on a rock[A] , oh god

[D]I suited up and took my first step on the [Em]white dirt we see from home
[D]Seven steps I look behind me to see my [Em]shuttle, it had flown
[Bm]I try to run in its direction, make my [Em]footprints fly
[Bm]I didn’t make the connection
That bird has [Em]flown, I’m g[A]onna cry

And the [Bm]tears in my helmet made it [Em]hard to see
My [Bm]head started spinning and my [Em]knees were weak
But then [D]my ears didnâ?[D7] ?™t fool me
From not to [Em]far, there was a [A]beat

And then some singing, yeah

[D]“You[D7] are not alone”
Said the [Em]rumble, under my [A]feet
[D]“Iâ€[D7]™ve been so alon[Em]e, if you walk to m[A]e, we can meet”

[D]It was a voice that I’d never heard, b[Em]ut a presence to which I was familiar
I [D]glide in the direction that the sound drew me
[Em]It was a long way, the journey
[Bm]The white rocks that were below me started to [Em]fight with my feet
[Bm]The moon surface below me started to [Em]crack apart into a [A]smile

It was [Bm]then that I [Em]realized,
I was [Bm]standing on a face that I’d [Em]seen many times
And then [D]my eyes werenâ?[D7] ?™t playing games,
From right [Em]below me, there was a [A]smile

And then some singing, yeah.

[D]“You[D7] are not alone”
Said the [Em]rumble, under my [A]feet
[D]“Iâ€[D7]™ve been so alon[Em]e, if you walk to m[A]e, we can meet”
[D]“You[D7] are not alone”
Said the [Em]rumble, under my [A]feet
[D]“Iâ€[D7]™ve been so alone,[Em] it was a matter of time (it was a matter of time)
For you to [A]save me (for you to save me)
It was a [Em]matter of time (it was a matter of time)
For you to [A]save me

Interlude: [D] [D7] [Em] [A] (x2)

I had [Bm]become the savior of the [Em]man on the moon
Iâ?[Bm] ?™d stay to solve his loneliness[Em] and not go home soon
And [D]all we had was [D7]this old tune
In not too [Em]long, we’d kill[A] the gloom
