FmAcroBbss the night
It was the Gmmoon that stole my Abslumber
Across the FmnighBbt
I fell in Gmlove with people Absleeping
  C    Bb    F(x3)
CI fell Cmajtired,
Casleep in a golden Cmajocean
Your Ceyes persCmajpired,
a Cspike in my fasciCmajnation
FmI don't mean to Cmmake you cry
But this Ab7feeling will run right Gthrough the nigFmht
And I'll only Cmmake you cry with these GmfeeGlings
Across the FmnighBbt
It was the Gmmoon that stole my Abslumber
Across the FmnighBbt
I fell in Gmlove with people Absleeping
Across the FmnigBbht, Across the GmnigAbht
Across the FmnigBbht, I hugged a Gmmans arthritic Abshoulders
  C    Bb    F(x3)
CSleepless, Cmajuntamed without a Cleash on the light around me
FmI don't mean to Cmmake you cry
But this Ab7feeling will run right Gthrough the Fmnight
And I'll only Cmmake you cry with these GmfeeGlings
Across the FmnighBbt
It was the Gmmoon that stole my Abslumber
Across the FmnighBbt
I fell in Gmlove with people Absleeping
Across the FmnigBbht, Across the GmnigAbht
Across the FmnigBbht, I hugged a Gmmans arthritic Abshoulders
I hugged a Gmmans arthritic Abshoulders
[Interlude] (I don't think Daniel plays something there
but here's something that fits.)
