              RISING FOR THE MOON
              FAIRPORT CONVENTION
               with SANDY DENNY


INTRO: (SINGLE STRUM)
D  A  E  E  A  A  E D Dbm Bm
VERSE:
   A
I travel over the sea
                      D  Bm
And ride the rolling sky
      A
For that's the way it is,
           D Bm E
That is my for-tune

           A
There are many ears to please,
       D       F#m     D
Many people's love to try
     A    F#m      E
And every day's begun
                A
Rising for the moon


VERSE:
           A
There's a heart in every place,
                             D   Bm
There's a tear for each farewell
      A
For that's the way it is,
         D  Bm E
That is my fortune

      A
I'll lure you as the lace
          D       F#m     D
That the wayward gypsies sell
          A     F#m      E
With the sinking of the sun,
               A
Rising of the moon


CHORUS:
 D     Bm       D
Rising for the moon,
             A
The sun has set and it is dark
         D      F#m    Bm
But the star of the enchanted tune
     A             E
Is bright as any spark

      A
The chorus of the dusk
   D       F#m      D
Regail the evening lark
      A                E
Whose every day does start
                A
Rising for the moon


INSTRUMENTAL:
D  D   A  F#m  A
D  D   A  E  E
A  A  D F#m D D  A A  E E  A  A


VERSE:
     A
We travel over the sea
                      D  Bm
And ride the rolling sky
      A
For that's the way it is,
            D Bm E
That is our for-tune

           A
There are many ears to please,
      D       F#m      D
many people's love to try
    A      F#m     E
And every day's begun
                A
Rising for the moon


CHORUS:
 D     Bm       D
Rising for the moon,
             A
The sun has set and it is dark
         D      F#m    Bm
But the star of the enchanted tune
     A             E
Is bright as any spark

      A
The chorus of the dusk
   D       F#m      D
Regail the evening lark
      A                E
Whose every day does start
                A
Rising for the moon


CHORUS:
 D     Bm       D
Rising for the moon,
             A
The sun has set and it is dark
         D      F#m    Bm
But the star of the enchanted tune
     A             E
Is bright as any spark

      A
The chorus of the dusk
   D       F#m      D
Regail the evening lark
      A                E
Whose every day does start
                A   E  D  A
Rising for the moon
