Lyrics
Man in the Moon
Thursday, November 10, 2005
Wade Farlowe
D Em
This song, I wrote on my guitar one day
A D
I think it was in the month of June
D Em
So, I tried to get it published some way
A D
But it's like talking to the man in the moon
D Em
He said, I like it when the piano comes in
A D
It's really got a good tune
D Em
I said, but there is no piano, friend
A D
It's like singing to the man in the moon
C alternating C sus4
Well, there you are, brighter than a glowing star
G A2
Old pale moon, shinin' down for all to see
C alternating C sus4
It's a simple song, you can all sing along
G A7
Mister Moon, won't you just answer me
D Em
So then, I played it to my favorite girl
A D
Hoping, to remember the tune
D Em
She seemed to react, as the words unfurled
A D
But it's like singing to the man in the moon
D Em
She said, I think I've heard that one before
A D
Someone played it on spoons
D Em
No, this one's new, let me play it once more
A D
It's like singing to the man in the moon
C alternating C sus4
Well, there you are, brighter than a glowing star
G A2
Old pale moon, shinin' down for all to see
C alternating C sus4
It's a simple song, you can all sing along
G A7
Mister Moon, won't you just answer me
D Em
So, I went down to the county fair
A D
And let my microphone boom
D Em
No one seemed to understand me there
A D
It's like singing to the man in the moon
Break D Em A D Em A D
C alternating C sus4
Well, there you are, brighter than a glowing star
G A2
Old pale moon, shinin' down for all to see
C alternating C sus4
It's a simple song, you can all sing along
G A7
Mister Moon, won't you just answer me
D Em
Well, now that I've sung my song for you
A D
And now you know the simple tune
D Em
You can sing it, when you have nothing else to do
A D
It's like singing to the man in the moon
D Em A D
