🎸 Verse 1:
C                      G                F
Little boy sits by the light of the moon
                Em             F                G
Knows that he's lost something precious too soon
         C                 G           F
And he's quietly singing a nursery tune
             Em            G
Sings for whoever may hear him

🎸 Verse 2:
     C                        G         F
Then one day he finds for whatever it's worth
                 Em            Dm                G
The moon and the stars and the blue spinning earth
        C                       G           F
They'll all come and go through death and rebirth
                       Em
And the ones that he's lost will be near him


🎸 Chorus:
Am         G                        F              C
He says no matter the distance they put in between us
G                      C
Whether on earth or on high
  G                       F               Am
I send up a prayеr if you blow me some kisses
         G            F    Fm  C
From thе far away nearby, bye, bye


🎸 Interlude:
G Am F C G Am F Am G


🎸 Verse 3:
   C                       G             F
So whether you're weary or cold as a stone
                   C          D           G
Baby, maybe you're reeling in feeling alone
      C                            G           F
But remember your sadness, well it isn't unknown
                       C
Just think of the ones that you're missing


🎸 Chorus:
Am          G                        F              C
They say no matter the distance they put in between us
G                      C
Whether on earth or on high
  G                            F             Am
I send up a prayer if you blow me some kisses
     G        F
From far away


🎸 Bridge:
                      C                  G
You can hear them all singing and dancing
F                            C           G
Kicking up their heels from across the divide
      Dm                 C
Listen, you can hear the music playing
F                  Am           G
Calling out to someone from the other side

Yeah, no matter the distance they put in between us
C                      F    C
Whether on earth or on high
  G                       F               Am
I send up a prayer if you blow me some kisses
         G            F   Fm   C
From the far away nearby, bye, bye
