The Band - The Moon Struck One lyrics



(the | means a new measure and the / means the bass note on the current chord.)

Intro: |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |
|g-7 |g-7 |d-7 |d-7 |
Julie and little john tyler lived in the house next door
G-7 d-7 |g-7 d-7 |e-7b5 |eb-j7 |
We would be the great triangle and to this we swore
D- |ebj7 |bb d-/a |g- |
Julie was my sweetheart, little john was my cohort
C /bb |/a /g |f |f |
And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart
Gb |gb |bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2
Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun
|gb |gb |bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 |
And promised to return before the moon struck one
Bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 ||gb |gb |eb-7 |eb-7 ||

Julie came running through the pasture--she was screaming at the sky
She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly
Little john was stung by a snake over by the lake
And it looked like he s really, really hurt--he was lying in the dirt
Who, we went it as fast as we could run
|bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 |
But we lost little john as the moon struck one
Bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 ||gb |gb |eb-7 |eb-7

I was vacant, julie was a bird with a broken wing
We were always afraid of what tomorrow might bring
We'll drive down to durango--up and leave this place
And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace
The car broke down when we had just begun
|bb ebadd2 |
And we walked back to the house while the moon struck one
Bb ebadd2 |[7x] then g-7
