• Capo on 6th

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
A           Dm          G       C
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
 Am        D            G
How can I have sent you away?
Em              F       G               Am
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
E            Dm        E
The harmony's silent today


Verse 2:
A               Dm      G               C
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
Am             D          G
And I will your company keep
Em              F               G   Am
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
E               Dm              E
Have carried you softly to sleep

Verse 3:
Am                      C
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
G                          Am
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
F                            G           Am
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
F               C       E      Am
So lovely and so well beloved as I"


Verse 4:
Am              E         Dm                 G
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
        C               Dm         E
That long was the shadow she cast
        Dm         F         E          Am
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
        Dm         F            E       Am
And grew only darker as days and nights passed


Pre-Chorus:
Am              Dm                      Am
Luna moon princess, goodnight sister mine
F                               Am
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Dm              Am      E               Am
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Dm                                              E
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space


Chorus:
Dm                      E          Am
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
E                          Am
And carry my sorrow in kind
C               Am              E
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Dm             E        Am
Forgive me for being so blind


Verse 5:
Am                         C
Soon did that pony take notice that others
G                               Am
Did not give her sister her due
F               C           G           Am
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
F               C       E             Am
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew


Verse 6:
Am                E             Dm              G
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
        C               Dm          E
Takes hold of the mind of its host
Dm              F               E         Am
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
Dm              F               E       Am
The destruction of one who had needed her most


Pre-Chorus:
Am                      Dm              Am
Luna moon princess, goodnight sister mine
F                               Am
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Dm         Am           E       Am
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Dm                                                      E
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space


Chorus:
Dm                      E          Am
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
E                          Am
And carry my sorrow in kind
C               Am              E
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Dm              E               Am
May troubles be far from your mind
Dm              E               Am
And forgive me for being so blind


Bridge 1:
C                       Am
The years now before us
Dm      F       G
Fearful and unknown
C               Am
I never imagined
Dm        F     G
I'd face them on my own


Bridge 2:
C                       Am
May these thousand winters
Dm          F   G
Swiftly pass, I pray
C               Am
I love you; I miss you
Dm      F       G
All these miles away


Outro:
Am              F            G          C
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Am      Dm        C     E
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
Am              F               G       C
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
Am              Dm              C               E
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
F       Dm      E Am    E Am
Sleep...
