Rising Of The Moon chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret

INTRO: [Am] [D] [G]

[N.C.]The rising of the [G]moon on the Oregon border[Am]line
Lights up the river's [D]edge and the wild blackberry [G]vine
And the sand beneath my [Em]feet is a cool silver [Am]grey
The moon dances on the [D]water, and then it sails a[G]way

[CHORUS]
[N.C.]And I watch it sail a[G]way, somewhere where the river [Am]goes [Am7]
Some love lasts[D] forever, just like the river [G]flows [Am] [D] [G]

[N.C.]On the last day of Ju[G]ly you sailed into my[Am] mind
We were riding down a [D]river, the wind blowing from be[G]hind
There were two great blue [Em]herons flying through the [Am]trees
Moving up the [D]canyon, so silent and [G]so free

[CHORUS]
[N.C.]And I watched them sail a[G]way somewhere where the river [Am]goes [Am7]
Some love lasts[D] forever, just like the river [G]flows

INSTRUMENTAL: [G] [Am] [D] [G] [Am] [D] [G]

[N.C.]And I hope the years are [G]happy and the winters aren't too [Am]cold
And that life won't treat you [D]badly, I'd like to see you when you're [G]old
I'll keep you in my [Em]heart like the crying of the [Am]loon
And wonder how you [D]are at the rising of the [G]moon

[CHORUS]
[N.C.]And I watched you sail a[G]way somewhere where the river [Am]goes [Am7]
Some love lasts[D] forever, just like the river [G]flows

[CHORUS]
I watched you sail away somewhere where the river [Am]goes [Am7]
Some love lasts[D] forever, just like the river [G]flows [Am] [D] [G]
