[Verse]
E
Above the dark house
A
On a black tar roof
B7
Stood the sad milkman
E
In love with the moon
E
She filled up his window
A
With a soft milky light
B7
He crawled up the chimney
E E7
And into the night
[Chorus]
A
But the moon she rises
E
And the moon she falls
B7
And her slow white eye
E
Sees nothing at all
[Verse]
E
Down on the sidewalk
A
A crowd gathered round
B7
They were throwing up bricks and bottles
E
To knock the boy down
E E7
He stood up above them
A
With his hands in the air
B7
Calling up to the moonbeams
E E7
Come let down your hair
[Chorus]
A
But the moon she rises
E
And the moon she falls
B7
And her slow white eye
E
Sees nothing at all
[Verse]
E
Well he wanted to feel like
A
A bucket of milk
B7
A sweet summer wind
E
On rolling green hills
E E7
He wanted to climb up
A
From the roof sailing up
B7
Upon the night wind
E E7
To the arms of
[Chorus]
A
But the moon she rises
E
And the moon she falls
B7
And her slow white eye
E
Sees nothing at all, oh no
A
And as the moon she rises
E
And the moon she falls
B7
Well her slow white eye
E
Sees nothing at all
