Blue moon

Waded out past the Gwave's swell
where we all floated Fhopeless
and he told us to stop treading Amwater
he sang about the Csand
where we could all touch our Gfeet down
he held out his Fhand
with his tipped back he sang Amloud
      C  C*              Am           F  G  
but he didn't listen, he swam off alone
    C  C*                Am                  F  G  
long live his words, all caught up on his own
            C  C*              Am                  F  G  
he said "someday the moon will reach out to the sun
         F             G       C  C*  Am          F               G  Am  
  but for now it must drift along, but for now he drifts along" 
this sounds pretty right to me, just what i figured out while messing around with a friend

Blue moon

Waded out past the wave's swell

where we all floated hopeless

and he told us to stop treading water

he sang about the sand

where we could all touch our feet down

he held out his hand

with his tipped back he sang loud

C C Am F G

but he didn't listen, he swam off alone

C C Am F G

long live his words, all caught up on his own

C C Am F G

he said "someday the moon will reach out to the sun

F G C C Am F G Am

but for now it must drift along, but for now he drifts along"

this sounds pretty right to me, just what i figured out while messing around with a friend
