🎸 Verse 1:
C# minorC#m       G#G#
Now the hour has come at last
  BB        F# minorF#m
The soft and fading light
  C# minorC#m       G#G#
Has crossed the west horizon
    E MajorE      F#F#
And has bidden us goodnight
  A augmentedA       BB
And what a lovely night it is
  G#G#       C#C#
To walk a moonlit field
  A augmentedA        E MajorE
To see the softer shades
      G#G#
That are by starlight now revealed

🎸 Verse 2:
  C# minorC#m      G#G#
So why is it that now
      BB      F#F#
When all is quiet and at rest
   C# minorC#m       G#G#
When candles glow and all the world
  BB      F#F#
Is at its very best
  A augmentedA     BB
The ponies of Equestria
    G#G#       C# minorC#m
Should lock themselves away
  A augmentedA         E MajorE
To shun the moon and wait instead
  G#G#
For Sister's sunny day?
 G#G#
(In umbra Luna est)

🎸 Verse 3:
  C# minorC#m      BB
A minorAm I so wrong to wish that they
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
Would see things like I do?
BB      E MajorE
And am I so wrong to think
   A augmentedA         D MajorD
That they might love me too?
  C# minorC#m       BB
Why shouldn't they adore me?
   E MajorE       A augmentedA
Is it not within my right?
   BB     E MajorE
I'll not be overshadowed!
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
Mine is not the lesser light!
   BB       E MajorE
I've waited long enough now
     C#C#      F#F#
For them all to come around
        G#G#        C# minorC#m
And though the Sun may plead and threaten
  D#D#
The Moon will stand her ground

🎸 Bridge:
  G# minorG#m       D#D#
It comes to this at last:
     C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m
I will no longer yield the sky
    C# minorC#m         F#F#    BB
If they cannot love but one princess alone
G# minorG#m   D#D#
See, the Moon is rising
    C# minorC#m        D7D7       D#D#
She has come to claim the heavens for her own

🎸 Verse 4:
  G# minorG#m        E MajorE
And all will know the wonder
   C# minorC#m   D#D#
Of my dark and jeweled sky
   E MajorE        C#C#
When all the world is wrapped
   D#D#
In an eternal lullaby
  G# minorG#m       E MajorE
So say goodnight to this
     C# minorC#m      D#D#
The final setting of the sun
  E MajorE       C# minorC#m
Tomorrow dawns in darkness;
  D#D#  E MajorE  D#D#  G#G#
The nighttime has begun!
