[Verse 1]
           D
Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
   G                              D
I wish you were around to see it too
Bm                         A                                    G
I'm so happy I could cry, why'd you'd have to go and die like that?
        D
It's a shame when people ain't around to see
      G                               D
The smiles that they nurture, the laughter they breed
       Bm                         A                           G
These people don't know me, and I don't plan on showing what I've seen

And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia
           G                                   D
She said, "Boy, there ain't no real point in helping ya"

The only thing you've ever owned were high hopes and a pocket comb, you fool
          D
So don't act like you know who I am
            G

      Bm                             A                     G

So look up tonight

The moon, she's shining

And we'll be alright
                    G   D
'Cause she's still smiling
     Bm                         A
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
             G                  D
The more I search, the less I find
           Bm   A
But I'm alright

'Cause she's here tonight

    D
And I still recall the night you're heading home
            G                          D
You were fighting so hard I knew you couldn't be alone
     Bm                         A                              G
Your hand in my hand, I knew I had to be a man from that night on
          D
And I'll tell you all these stories one day
            G                        D
And we'll laugh like we used to and waste the night away
       Bm                                   A                               G
You'll say, "Boy, how I've missed ya," but son, I was with you this whole time
 
 
[Chorus]
            Bm     A
So look up tonight
                 G   D  D/C#
The moon, she's shining
                 Bm   A
And we'll be alright
                    G   D
'Cause she's still smiling
     Bm                         A
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
             G                  D
The more I search, the less I find
           Bm   A
But I'm alright
              G        D
'Cause she's here tonight
              Bm   A
Oh, she's alright
         G    D
She's alright
                 Bm A G D
Oh, she's alright
 
 
[Outro]
    D
Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
   G                              D
I wish you were around to see it too
Bm                         A                                    G
I'm so down that I could cry, why'd my best friend up and die like that?
