Watch The Moon Come Down Lyrics

Pre>watch the moon come down   [top] [back to index]

G					  c
In this dirty town there’s nothing going for me
G				   c
No shows going down that I would want to see
G			   em  c
Nothing but the midnight tra----in
G			 c
In this shady street on a top floor flat
G					  c
Women take their sheets down to the laundromat
G				  em	 c
And as the night falls on this to-----wn

Chorus
G	 d em  d	  c
I’m going to watch the moon come  down
G  d	em  d	 c
Watch the moon come down
G	 d em  d	 c
I’m gonna watch the moon come down
G  d em d
Watch it come down

G			   c
As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome
G					  c
Splashing through the gutters and the sand
G					 c
The birds move in the rafters hearing echoes of the laughter
G					 c
From children in a playground close at hand

D			 bm
And hands inside my pockets, staring at the light sockets
C			  d
Everyone’s been blown out everyone’s been thrown out
C
I said baby baby baby baby baby

Repeat chorus

G 				 c
If I stay out all night test the midnight train’s headlights
G					 c
Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend
G			    c
Now who’ve I got to let down, tell me somebody with their head down
G 				c	  d		   bm
Bargin’ into solid ground in the end in the end, yeah in the end
C		    d
Waitin for the end, arrive to the end, hey hey (guitar solo)

C
I said baby baby baby baby baby
G	d em	 d   c
Watch the moon come down (three times)
G  d	em  d   c
Yes I’m going to watch the moon come down
G  d em  d   c
Yeah I’m going to watch the moon come down like a midnight train uh huh
G				  c
Uh uh I’m going to watch the moon come down watch it come down
G					  c
Yes I’m going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train (fade)
