Capo 8th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair

 And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere

 And the sky turned water color pink and gold and blue

 And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon

 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

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
