Pick a learning view.
See her as she flies,
gold en sails a cross the sky.
She’s (Cm7)close e (Bb)nough to touch,
but be care ful if you try.
Though she (Eb)looks as warm (Gm)as gold,
the (Bb)moon’s a harsh mis tress.
The moon can be so cold...
Once the sun did shine,
(Bb)and oh, it felt so fine.
The (Cm7)moon, a phan (Eb)tom, rose
through the (Bb)moun tains (Eb)and the pines,
and (Eb)then the (F#dim7)dark (Gm)ness fell.
The (Bb)moon’s a harsh
mis tress.
It’s hard to love her (Ebmaj9)well.
I (Dbmaj9)fell out of her arms,
and I fell out of her heart.
I (Ebm)fell down on (Gb)my face,
and I (Db)tripped and missed my star.
I fell and fell (Bbm7)a lone.
The (Db)moon’s a harsh
mis tress.
The sky is made of stone.
The (Db)moon’s a harsh
mis tress,
she’s hard to call your own.
