When the moon is up and shining
        F                  C
On the fields a long time bright
                 G          C
Where the crops    one time grew
           C
There's a black and gold horizon
            F                       C
Through the trees in the purple moonlight
            G           C
Welcome to    what you knew


           F                                  C
There's a place inside the shadows where the stillness
          Am             G        
Covers up   a night so blue
        F                                   Am
And it traps the lonely whirlwind there and hides it
      G
From view


        C
In the idle some grow restless
     F                       C
And imagine something more right
                G          C
Sometimes don't   think it through
         C
So they saddle up the ponies 
          F                  C
And they ride off into the night
               G            C
One time more,   sometimes blue


           F                              C
Sometimes then the only colors they can dream of
            Am            G
Double back   and catch a few
        F                                    Am
Of the crazy moonlight dragons they've been chasing
            G
Through the hills

Now the mist is growing thicker
          F                 C
And it's getting harder to play
               G         C
Sometimes now    mostly true
         C
So they gather 'round the fire 
         F             C
And they lie the time away
                G           C
Sometimes blue,   sometimes blue


           F                                  C
There's a place inside the shadows where the stillness
          Am           G        
Covers up   a night so blue
        F                                     Am
And it traps the lonely whirlwind there and hides it
      G
