Am    D7   E7  Am

[Verse]
           D7         Am              D
I took the moon for a walk last night
   Bm         G           E7                 D
It followed behind like a still summer kite
      Am                                D
There wasn't a string or a tail in site
     Am         G#         Am
When I took the moon for a walk

[Verse]
             D7         Am            D
I carried my flashlight just in case
    Bm       G          E7            D
The moon got scared and hid its face
       Am                                         D
But it peeked through the clouds, fragile as lace
     Am         G#         Am
When I took the moon for a walk

[Bridge]
  C
I warned the moon
   Em
To rise a bit higher
      F
So it wouldn't get hooked
     C             G
On a church's tall spire
          C
While the neighbourhood dogs
       E7
Made a train whistle choir
     F                     C
When I took the moon for a walk

[Verse]
                   D7              Am                    D
We tiptoed through grass where the night-crawlers creep
         Bm           G           E7             D
When the rust bellied robins have fallen asleep
       Am                                                 D
And the moon called the dew, so the grass seemed to weep
     Am         G#         Am
When I took the moon for a walk

[Bridge]
   C
We raced for the swings
        Em
Where I kicked my feet high
     F
And imagined the moon
         C           G
Had just asked me to fly
             C
Hand holding hand
            E7
Through the starry night sky
     F                     C
When I took the moon for a walk

[Verse]
                D7             Am               D
Then as we went back, the moon kept me in sight
   Bm          G           E7                     D
It followed me home and it stayed there all night
       Am                                           D
And it thanked me by sharing its sweet sleepy light
     Am         G#         Am
When I took the moon for a walk
                G#         Am
When I took the moon for a walk
