🎸 Intro:

C#m    A G#m   A F#  G#sus4 G#



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

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

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

🎸 Interlude:
G#m D#  G#m C#m  C#m

🎸 Bridge:
   G#m              D#
It comes to this at last:
          C#m              G#m
I will no longer yield the sky
        C#m                 F#       B
If they cannot love but one princess alone
G#m      D#
See, the Moon is rising
        C#m               D7              D#
She has come to claim the heavens for her own

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

Ending:
G#m E
Noc-tis
