Shadows And Moonlight

	  		

Verse 1:
  Dm                               C 
I stumbled from the bar just after midnight 
       G                           Dm 
That's when I saw her waiting all alone 
  Dm                                    C 
I thought at first she somehow looked familiar 
        G                                 Dm 
But her hollow eyes were cold and hard as stone 
   Dm                     Am 
An old buried memory came to me 
    Bb                    Dm 
Of another midnight long ago 
       Dm                                  C 
And it seemed as if the stranger saw right through me 
     G                                    Dm 
So I quickly said goodnight and turned to go 

Verse 2:
         Dm                         C 
Drinking deep from the bottle in my jacket 
  G                            Dm 
I turned into an alley off the street 
  Dm                                   C 
I feared that she would follow but saw no one 
        G                               Dm 
I heard nothing but the scuffling of my feet 
Dm                            Am 
Then a hand grabbed me by the shoulder 
    Bb                      Dm 
And fear was a needle in my vein 
  Dm                          C 
I saw her hollow eyes lean in closer 
         G                               Dm 
Felt her breath as she was whisperin' my name 


Bb        F              C   Dm 
Lies like shadows in the moonlight 
Bb                   F      C 
Hide from the coming of the sun 
C        C#            Dm    Bb 
Memories come alive at midnight 
      Bb      Am       G      F      Dm 
And a haunted heart is always on the run

Verse 3:
    Dm                             C 
She hissed at me, My name is Sarah Baker 
  G                               Dm 
I knew you when we both were seventeen 
  Dm                             C 
I was not pretty like my younger sister 
         G                                Dm 
With her golden hair and laughin' eyes of green 
    Dm                               Am 
You took from her a love she did not offer 
    Bb                             Dm 
And shamed her into silence at the dawn 
    Dm                          C 
She lies awake when your memory haunts her 
         G                                   Dm 
And I've waited all these years to right the wrong 


Bb        F              C   Dm 
Lies like shadows in the moonlight 
Bb                   F      C 
Hide from the coming of the sun 
C        C#            Dm    Bb 
Memories come alive at midnight 
      Bb      Am       G      F      Dm 
And a haunted heart is always on the run

Verse 4:
 
    Dm                         C 
She drew a blade as I stumbled backwards 
  G                                    Dm 
I could not see her clearly through my tears 
  Dm                          C 
I knew that I finally met the judgement 
    G                                Dm 
I'd somehow been expecting all these years 
  Dm                             Am 
I felt the blade deep beneath my ribcage 
    Bb                        Dm 
The blood flowing freely as I moaned 
     Dm                          C 
Then I awoke to find it was only whiskey 
             G                        Dm 
And I'd been dreaming in an alley all alone 


Bb        F              C   Dm 
Lies like shadows in the moonlight 
Bb                   F      C 
Hide from the coming of the sun 
C        C#            Dm    Bb 
Memories come alive at midnight 
      Bb      Am       G      F      Dm 
And a haunted heart is always on the run
