JUST LIKE THE MOON (Kim Richey & Tia Sillers)
---------------------------------------------
[Actually in Eb; capo 8.]
[These chords - in G - are played with a capo on the EIGHTH FRET.
 Another guitar plays in D with a capo on the first fret, but those
 chords aren't as much fun to play.]
[In the parts that go G C D D, the D alternates between D and D(9),
 but I think the guitar in D (1st fret capo) is playing A and Asus4.]

[intro]

G                   C                D         D
  I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair
       G                   C              D            D
And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere
          Em             C             G           D
And the sky turned water color pink and gold and blue
        Em                   C                 G              D
And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon

        C     -     G/B        C    -    G/B
And I thought about you and I wondered why I
C    -    G/B     Am       Am
  Took so long to say goodbye
       C    -    G/B          C   -  G/B
Oh you shined so bright you blinded me
C      -      G/B    Am           Am
  And left me so I     couldn't see

              C(9)  G             D    D
That I was the  moon chasing the sun
          Em      C             G          D
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
         C(9)   G              D    D
No matter how    fast I would run
         C   G       D      D
Like the moon chasing the sun
              C   G       D      D
Just like the moon chasing the sun

G  C  D  D    G  C  D  D
[instrumental]

The crickets called and the moon peeked out of the eastern sky
They both start up about this time each night
And the evening breeze dropped by and brought some sweet relief
And in the silver light I finally let go of the heat

And I thought about you and I wondered why
I took so long to say goodbye
Oh you shined so bright you blinded me
And left me so I couldn't see

That I was the moon chasing the sun
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
No matter how fast I would run
Like the moon chasing the sun
Just like the moon chasing the sun

G  C  D  D    G  C  D  D
[instrumental]

G  C  D  D    G  C  D  D
[instrumental; repeat and fade]
