G                         D Dsus4 D
The wind blows rain into my face
G                                D Dsus4 D
The sun glows at the end of the highway
A                   G
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
A
Oh, child of the moon
G                     F#m              A
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

G                                 D Dsus4 D
She shivers, by the light she is hidden
G                              D Dsus4 D
She flickers like a lamp lady vision
A                   G
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
A
Child of the moon
G                     F#m              A
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

G                                D Dsus4 D
The first car on the foggy road riding
G                             D Dsus4 D
The last star for my lady is pining
A                       G
Oh, child of the moon, bid the sun arise
A
Oh, child of the moon
           G          F#m          G        F#m
Give me a misty day, pearly gray, silver, silky faced,
G           F#m              A
Wide-awake crescent-shaped smile
