It (C)seems as though I've (Bb)lived my life
on the (Am7)bad side of the (C)moon
To (F)stir your dregs and (Eb)sittin' still,
(Dm)without a rustic (C)spoon
Now come on people live with me,
where the light has never shone
And the harlots flock like hummingbirds,
speaking in a foreign tongue
(C)This is my life, (Bb)this is my life,
(F)this is my life, (C)my life
This is my life, this is my life,
this is my life, my life
(C)It seems as though I've lived my life
on the (Bb)bad side of the moon
(F)To stir your dregs and (Eb)sittin' still,
(Dm)without a rustic (C)spoon
Now come on people live with me,
where the light has never shone
And the harlots flock like hummingbirds,
speaking in a foreign tongue
(F)I'm a light world (C)away,
from the (Eb)people who make me (F)stay
(C)Sittin' on the (Eb)bad (Bb)side of the (C)moon
This is my life, this is my life,...
This is my life, this is my life,...
There ain't no need for watch dogs here,
to justify our ways
We lived our lives in manacles,
the main cause of our stay
And exiled here from other worlds,
my sentence comes to soon
Why should I be made to pay,
on the bad side of the moon
I'm a light world away,
from the people who make me stay
Sittin' on the bad side of the moon
This is my life, this is my life,...
