            B7           Emaj7 C#m9
There was a moon out in space,
      F#m7          B7       Emaj7 E6
But a cloud drifted over its face
    C#m7          F#7          B7  G7
You kissed me and went on your way
    F#m9     F9         Emaj7 E6
The night we called it a day

            B7           Emaj7  C#m9
I heard the song of the spheres
       F#m7   B7          Emaj7 E6
Like a minor lament in my ears.
  C#m7       F#7            B7  G7
I hadn't the heart left to pray,
    F#m9      F9         E9
The night we called it a day

Amaj7 Bm7/A   G#/A   A
Soft thru the dark,
    G#+        G#7        C#m9
the hoot of an owl in the sky
D#m7-5 G#7      C#m7
Sad    tho' his song,
     C        F#7-9  G  B
No bluer than he was I.

               B7              Emaj7 C#m9
The moon went down, stars were gone,
        G#7                      C#m7
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn,
      C#m7     E/B           A#m7-5 A7
there wasn't a thing left to say,
    G#m7  G7 F#m7   F7    E
The night we called it a day.
