Intro:
A minorAm D7D7 E7E7 A minorAm
Verse:
D7D7 A minorAm D MajorD
I took the moon for a walk last night
B minorBm G+G E7E7 D MajorD
It followed behind like a still summer kite
A minorAm D MajorD
There wasn't a string or a tail in site
A minorAm G#G# A minorAm
When I took the moon for a walk
Verse:
D7D7 A minorAm D MajorD
I carried my flashlight just in case
B minorBm G+G E7E7 D MajorD
The moon got scared and hid its face
A minorAm D MajorD
But it peeked through the clouds, fragile as lace
A minorAm G#G# A minorAm
When I took the moon for a walk
Bridge:
C majorC
I warned the moon
E minorEm
To rise a bit higher
FF
So it wouldn't get hooked
C majorC G+G
On a church's tall spire
C majorC
While the neighbourhood dogs
E7E7
Made a train whistle choir
FF C majorC
When I took the moon for a walk
Verse:
D7D7 A minorAm D MajorD
We tiptoed through grass where the night-crawlers creep
B minorBm G+G E7E7 D MajorD
When the rust bellied robins have fallen asleep
A minorAm D MajorD
And the moon called the dew, so the grass seemed to weep
A minorAm G#G# A minorAm
When I took the moon for a walk
Bridge:
C majorC
We raced for the swings
E minorEm
Where I kicked my feet high
FF
And imagined the moon
C majorC G+G
Had just asked me to fly
C majorC
Hand holding hand
E7E7
Through the starry night sky
FF C majorC
When I took the moon for a walk
Verse:
D7D7 A minorAm D MajorD
Then as we went back, the moon kept me in sight
B minorBm G+G E7E7 D MajorD
It followed me home and it stayed there all night
A minorAm D MajorD
And it thanked me by sharing its sweet sleepy light
A minorAm G#G# A minorAm
When I took the moon for a walk
G#G# A minorAm
When I took the moon for a walk
