Standard (EADGBE)
If you want to write a song about the moon
Walk along the craters of the afternoon
When the shadows are deep
And the light is alien
And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement
And you want to write a song about the moon
You want to write a spiritual tune
Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah,
F(addG)/A |
Yeah, yeah, presto
Song about the moon
If you want to write a song about the heart
Think about the moon before you start
'cause the heart will howl Like a dog in the moonlight
And the heart can explode like a pistol on a June night
So if you want to write a song about the heart
And its ever longing for a counterpart
Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah,
F(addG)/A |
Yeah, yeah,
Write a song about the moon
The laughing boy
He laughed so hard
He fell down from his place
The laughing girl
She laughed so hard
The tears rolled down her face, whoa
Hey Songwriter
If you want to write a song about a face
Think about a photograph
That you really can't remember But you can't erase
Wash your hands in dreams and lightning
Cut off your hair and whatever is frightening
If you want to write a song About a face
If you want to write a song about the human race
Then nah nah nah nah nah nah nah,
F(addG)/A |
Yeah, yeah,
Write a song about the moon
Oh, if you want to write a song about the moon
You want to write a spirituaI tune
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah,
F(addG)/A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Then do it
Write a song about the moon
Repeat and fade:
