Verse 1
FF              A7A7
The moon's on its way to its nightly shift,
FF            C#C# C7C7 (C majorC)
the frogs fill the creek below.
FF              A7A7
The tall grass waves a farewell to the day,
FF            C#C# C7C7 (C majorC)
the wind moans sweet and low.
Bb majorBb               (C majorC)
A augmentedA heron tucks his head in his wing,
  FF           C9C9
the fish in the lake float along.
FF                  C7C7  FF C7C7 FF
The sun sinks from sight: away, but never gone.

Verse 2
FF               A7A7
The dawn brings the dew like a thousand jewels,
FF            C#C# C7C7 (C majorC)
a nest rustles high on a bough.
FF               A7A7
The blue egg stays warm in the cool of the morn,
FF           C#C# C7C7 (C majorC)
under a red breast of down.
Bb majorBb
The clouds turn and stretch,
Bb majorBb           (C majorC)  FF           C9C9
the moon checks its wrist and gathers itself with a yawn,
FF                C7C7  FF C7C7 FF
And winks to the sun: away, but never gone.

Verse 3 (*Whistling and humming*)

Coda
Bb majorBb                     (C majorC)
All o'er the world, as it turns and it turns,
FF             C9C9
the stars twinkle off and dawn,
FF               C7C7  FF C7C7 FF
And we come and go: away, but never gone.


Enjoy!
