The 7th at the end of the lines isn't strickly played on guitar - it's
played on mandoline or fiddle etc. but adds nicely to the feel of song if
you're playing on guitar only. 3/4 time.
Man In The Moon Prairie Oyster
Intro Harp & Guitar G
If [G]I was the man in the moon [G7]
I'd [C] shine down my [D7] light for [G]you
Each [C]silvery [D7]beam would [G]caress you in [Em]dreams
Like my [A]two loving arms used to [D]do [D7]
I'd [G]watch over you every night[G7]
[C]Never too [D7]late or too [G]soon
But [C]always on [D7]time
My [G]love light would [Em]shine
If [A]I was the [D7]man in the [G]moon
D7
[G]Some say it's better to love and then [G7] lose
Than [C] never [D7]have loved at [G]all
It's [D7]hard to return the [G]love that once [Em]burned
To the [A]cold lonely world where [D]nobody [D7]calls
Repeat Chorus
2 bar break
I'm only a phone call away from your voice
But our lives have grown so far apart
I'd have less resistance way up in the distance
Sending my love light straight into your heart
Chorus - repeat to end
But always on time
My lovelight would shine
If I was the man in the moon
