Hunter Moon - Kate Rusby


B x 4

Verse 1:
    B
Softly the morning light,
            E
Softly the dew,
B
Softly my soul will bend,
   F#
As she comes in view,
   B
At dawn she is delicate,
               E
And burning by noon,
               F#           G#m F# E
The end of the day will come soon.

Chorus:
                    B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
    E        B
Are infinite bright,
        E             B
And the stars know my soul will fly,
        F#
They're holding it tight.

Verse 2:
B
There she is rising now,
   E
My heart it might break,
    B
The birds in her warmth will fly,
   F#
My soul it will ache,
        B
And the world comes alive for her,
       E
In awe at her gaze,
                 F#      G#m F# E
And suddenly the sky is ablaze,

Chorus:
                    B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
      E      B
Are infinite bright,
        E             B
And the stars know my soul will fly,
        F#
They're holding it tight.

Verse 3:
B
Say not her name to me,
           E
For I live in the shade,
B
Briefly I see her,
       F#
As she starts to fade,
   B
In silence we pass,
         E
Our path is well worn,
             F#           G#m F# E
In silence I wait for the dawn.

Chorus:
                     B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
      E      B
Are infinite bright,
        E             B
And the stars know my soul will fly,
        F#sus4     F#
They're holding it tight.

Verse 4:
B
Calmly I drift along,
            E
Oh I will endure,
 B
I only belong to her,
   F#
Of that I am sure,
     B
Will I ever hold her,
  E
I cannot presume,
N.C.
For she's the sun,
    F#       G#m F# E
I'm only the moon.

Chorus x 2:
        E            B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
      E      B
Are infinite bright,
        E             B
And the stars know my soul will fly,
        F#
They're holding it tight.
