NIGHT OF A MILLION MOONS (Mary Karlzen)

[The chords are kind of hard to define; see the tab at the end for a better

idea of what's going on. F#dim(no3) is just F# and C.]

[intro]

C F

What seemed to be

C F

A million years ago

C F C F

When the summers were as endless as the days and the sky was as lazy

C F

My mother and I

C F

Would sit on the concrete steps

G F G F

And watch the wind blow through the grass

G F#dim(no3) F

We saw the dogs run, and watched my brothers pass

C F

And I looked at my mother

C F

As we silently watched the wind

G F G F

And without a single word

G F#dim(no3) F

We'd rise up, and go in

C Bb G G

Welcome to the night of a million moons

C Bb G G

Welcome to the future which comes all too soon

F G F Am

And I reached for the light as if I could stop the past somehow

F G C F

From colliding against what is now

C F C F

Welcome to the night of a million moons

C F C F

[repeat and fade instrumental]
