Mark Erelli – I Took The Moon For A Walk chords
Chords:
[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 X
