[INTRO] (RIFF 1, RIFF 2, RIFF 1, RIFF 2, RIFF 2, RIFF 2, RIFF 2)
RIFF 1
Ooo - when I was a small boy
                      RIFF 2
Well, I could see the magic in a day
RIFF 1
But, now I'm just a poor boy
                     RIFF 2
Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay
       RIFF 2
If you lock your dreams away
   RIFF 2
If no one wants to listen
RIFF 1
What's the story?
I wish I'd been a minstrel
                      RIFF 2
Just think of all the maidens I could call
RIFF 1
Oh - I wish I'd been a gypsy
                   RIFF 2
Then maybe I could read the crystal ball
       RIFF 2
'Cause surrounded by these walls
     RIFF 2
Just makes me feel uneasy
I said, Bmhey, Sister Moonshine, Won't you Asend me a little Amaj7sun?
I said, Bmhey, Sister Moonshine, I'm a Astranger to everAmaj7yone
(So, make us all F#mlaugh) Make us all Fcry
(Make us all F#mgive) Make us all Ftry
Give us a Gsecret, show us the light
We’ll strike up the Bmusic, light up the Bsus4sky
[GUITAR SOLO] (RIFF 1, RIFF 1, RIFF 3)
RIFF 1
Mmm - if I was a lion,
                     RIFF 2
Well, I could be the king of all the plain
RIFF 1
Mmm - if I was an eagle,
                    RIFF 2
Well, maybe I could fly above the rain
    RIFF 2
Oh, fly above the pain
     RIFF 2
But, I know I'm only foolin'
I said, Bmhey, Sister Moonshine, Won't you Asend me a little Amaj7sun?
I said, Bmhey, Sister Moonshine, I'm a Astranger to everAmaj7yone
(So, make us all F#mlaugh) Make us all Fcry
(Make us all F#mgive) Make us all Ftry
Well give us a Gsecret, show us the light
We’ll strike up the Bmusic, and light up the Bsus4sky
[GUITAR SOLO] (RIFF 1, RIFF 1, RIFF 3)
RIFF 4 (x4)
RIFF 5         RIFF 6
       I said, hey, Sister Moonshine
RIFF 5         RIFF 6
       I said, hey, Sister Moonshine
RIFF 5         RIFF 6
       I said, hey, Sister Moonshine
RIFF 5         RIFF 6
       I said hey, I said hey, Sister Moonshine
