[Intro]

Am    D7   E7  Am

 

[Verse]

           D7         Am              D

I took the moon for a walk last night

   Bm         G           E7                 D

It followed behind like a still summer kite

      Am                                D

There wasn't a string or a tail in site

     Am         G#         Am

When I took the moon for a walk

 

[Verse]

             D7         Am            D

I carried my flashlight just in case

    Bm       G          E7            D

The moon got scared and hid its face

       Am                                         D

But it peeked through the clouds, fragile as lace

     Am         G#         Am

When I took the moon for a walk

 

[Bridge]

  C

I warned the moon

   Em

To rise a bit higher

      F

So it wouldn't get hooked

     C             G

On a church's tall spire

          C

While the neighbourhood dogs

       E7

Made a train whistle choir

     F                     C

When I took the moon for a walk

 

[Verse]

                   D7              Am                    D

We tiptoed through grass where the night-crawlers creep

         Bm           G           E7             D

When the rust bellied robins have fallen asleep

       Am                                                 D

And the moon called the dew, so the grass seemed to weep

     Am         G#         Am

When I took the moon for a walk

 

[Bridge]

   C

We raced for the swings

        Em

Where I kicked my feet high

     F

And imagined the moon

         C           G

Had just asked me to fly

             C

Hand holding hand

            E7

Through the starry night sky

     F                     C

When I took the moon for a walk

 

[Verse]

                D7             Am               D

Then as we went back, the moon kept me in sight

   Bm          G           E7                     D

It followed me home and it stayed there all night

       Am                                           D

And it thanked me by sharing its sweet sleepy light

     Am         G#         Am

When I took the moon for a walk

                G#         Am

When I took the moon for a walk
