The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[G] [C] [G]

[VERSE 1]
See her how she [C]flies
[G]Golden sails across the [Am]sky [G]
[C]Close enough to [Am]touch [D]
But [Bm7]careful if you [Em]try
[C]Though she [D]looks as warm as [Em]gold [C]
The [G]moon's a harsh [Am]mistress [G]
The moon can be so [C]cold [G]

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

[VERSE 3]
I [Bb]fell out of her ey[Eb]es
[Bb]I fell out of her [Cm]heart [Bb]
I [Eb]fell down on my [Cm]face [F]
I [Dm7]tripped and missed my [Eb]star
[Eb]God, I fell and [F]fell a[Gm]lone [Eb]
And the [Bb]moon's a harsh [Cm]mistress [Bb]
And the sky is made of [Eb]stone
The [Bb]moon's a harsh [Cm]mistress [Bb]
She's hard to call your [Eb]own
