Man In The Moon
By - Terry Scott Taylor
From the Daniel Amos album "Horrendous Disc"


 A classic love this one.....it's like meat and potatoes
"comfort music" if you will

intro...........F------Am------Dm 3 times


F------------Am---------------Dm--------------Am
I saw Mr. Moon last night, you know he's on the rise
F---------------------------Am---------------------Dm--------Am
There's something in his eyes I've never seen before
F--------------------Am--------------Dm---------Am-----------
There's some kind of magic here, he's so full of surprises
F---------------------------Am-------Dm-------Am
He'll hypnotize like the lull of a lullaby

F-------Am - - - don't strum this fully......play it string by string
                 slowly....listen to the CD

Dm---------------------------------C
Carry me home in my dreams, nothing's the way it seems
Bb------------------------------A7
Give up my world, now it's all too absurd
--------------Dm-------------------C--C
What has happened to me

F-------------Am----Dm-------------Am---------------Bb7
Man in the moon, I was shooting for a star much higher
F--------------Am----Dm-------------Am--
Man in the moon, there's no life nowhere near
------Bb7-----------------A7--
I'm dying to get out of here
-------------------------Dm-------------------Bb7-------A7
Lord don't leave me high and dry, let me fly........please

repeat verse chords once through

F--------------------Am------------Dm------Am--
Oh the moon is a yellow man, eclipsed inside his cage
F--------------------------Am--------------------Dm-------Am
Concealed from public rage, faith from our father
F-------------Am-------------Dm-----------Am--
Well I can't smile anymore, oh end this masquerade
F--------------------Am-------------------Dm----Am
Let the nightmare fade, kill the gilded calf

F-------Am - - - don't strum this fully......play it string by string
                 slowly....listen to the CD

Dm-----------------------
I see someone in my dreams
--------------C------------------------
Who was born to die and rise to redeem
-----Bb----------------------A7-------
So pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
------------Dm---------------C---C
Will this upstart ever stop

repeat chorus

F------------------------Am-------------------Dm
Man in the moon, man in the moon
F------------------------Am-------------------Dm
Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon
F------------------------Am-------------------Dm
Man in the moon, I'm the man in the moon
F------------------------Am-------------------Dm
Lord, don't leave me here

repeat fade out
