VERSE 1:
D G/D D G A D
A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way on the day I was to wed,
Em G Em A D
"It is you who I wish to share my body with", she said,
D G/D D G A D
"We'll find a dry place under the sky with a flower for a bed,
Em G Em A Em A Em A D
And for my joy I will give you a boy with a moon and star............on his head."
VERSE 2:
D G/D D G A F#m Em D
Her silver hair flowed in the air, laying waves across the suh-huh-hun,
Em G Em A D
Her hands were like the white sands, and her eyes had dia-monds on,
D G/D D G A D
We left the road and headed up to the top of the Whisper Wood,
Em G Em A7 D
And we walked till we came to where the holy mag-nolia stood.
D G/D D G A F#m Bm Em A D
There we lay cool in the shade singing songs and making love---,
Em G Em A7 D
With the naked earth beneath us and the universe above.
VERSE 3 (Whistle)
D G A D D4 D2 D G A D Bm A G A
VERSE 4
D G/D D Bm A D
The time was late my wedding wouldn't wait, I was sad, but I had to go,
Em G Em A7 D
So while she was asleep I kissed her cheek for cheer-io,
D G/D D G A D A D B E A D
The wedding took place and people came from many miles a-round
Em G Em A D
There was plenty merriment, cider and wine abound,
D G/D D G A D
But, out of all that I recall, I remembered the girl I met,
Em G Em A D
'Cause she had given me something that my heart could not forget.
VERSE 5

D G A D Bm A G
La, la, la, la! La-la, la-la, la , la-la, la !
A D
La-la, la! La, la-la, la - a!
VERSE 6
D G/D D G A F#m Bm
A year had passed and everything was just as it was the year before--------
G A D
As it was the year before,
Em G Em A D
Until the gift that someone left, a basket by my door,
D G/D D G A D
And in there lay the fairest little baby crying to be fed
Em G Em A Em A Em A D
I got down on my knees and kissed the moon & star.... Woh, oh-oh, ...on his head.
VERSE 7
D G/D D G A D
As years went by the boy grew high and the village looked on in awe,
Em G Em A D
They'd never seen anything like the boy with the moon and star before,
D G/D D G A D
And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread,
Em G Em A7 D
"I'll tell you everything I've learnt, and love is all!", he said.
