Intro: C C F C G C C When the moon is up and shining F C On the fields a long time bright G C Where the crops one time grew C There's a black and gold horizon F C Through the trees in the purple moonlight G C Welcome to what you knew F C There's a place inside the shadows where the stillness Am G Covers up a night so blue F Am And it traps the lonely whirlwind there and hides it G From view C In the idle some grow restless F C And imagine something more right G C Sometimes don't think it through C So they saddle up the ponies F C And they ride off into the night G C One time more, sometimes blue F C Sometimes then the only colors they can dream of Am G Double back and catch a few F Am Of the crazy moonlight dragons they've been chasing G Through the hills C F C G C (x2) F C Am G F Am G C Now the mist is growing thicker F C And it's getting harder to play G C Sometimes now mostly true C So they gather 'round the fire F C And they lie the time away G C Sometimes blue, sometimes blue F C There's a place inside the shadows where the stillness Am G Covers up a night so blue F Am And it traps the lonely whirlwind there and hides it G From view C F C G C (x2)
