D (hold) u D u D

Verse 1
F              A7
The moon's on its way to its nightly shift,
F            C# C7 (C)
the frogs fill the creek below.
F              A7
The tall grass waves a farewell to the day,
F            C# C7 (C)
the wind moans sweet and low.
Bb               (C)
A heron tucks his head in his wing,
  F           C9
the fish in the lake float along.
F                  C7  F C7 F
The sun sinks from sight: away, but never gone.

Verse 2
F               A7
The dawn brings the dew like a thousand jewels,
F            C# C7 (C)
a nest rustles high on a bough.
F               A7
The blue egg stays warm in the cool of the morn,
F           C# C7 (C)
under a red breast of down.
Bb
The clouds turn and stretch,
Bb           (C)  F           C9
the moon checks its wrist and gathers itself with a yawn,
F                C7  F C7 F
And winks to the sun: away, but never gone.

Verse 3 (*Whistling and humming*)

Coda
Bb                     (C)
All o'er the world, as it turns and it turns,
F             C9
the stars twinkle off and dawn,
F               C7  F C7 F
And we come and go: away, but never gone.


Enjoy!
