[Intro] Eb  G#m7  Eb  G#m6

[Primeira Parte]

Eb            G#m7       C#7    F#
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
        D#m    G#7       C#
How can I have sent you away?
                 B        C#          Ebm
The blame was my own, the punishment, yours
    Bb        G#m      Bb
The harmony's silent today
    Eb        G#m7          C#7         F#
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
      D#m       G#7     C#
And I will your company keep
                B        C#      D#m
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
     Bb          G#m        Bb
Have carried you softly to sleep

( D#m )

[Segunda Parte]

B                   F#
Once did a pony who shone like the Sun
     C#                     D#m
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
     B         F#            C#          D#m
She smiled and said: Surely, there is no pony
     G#m                Bb       D#m
So lovely and so well beloved as I
                 Bb           G#m           C#
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
      F#          G#m        Bb
That long was the shadow she cast
      Eb        G#m            Bb7        D#m
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
    G#m       Aº        Bb              D#m
And grew only darker as days and nights passed

[Terceira Parte]

B                       F#
Soon did that pony take notice that others
    C#                      D#m
Did not give her sister her due
    B           F#            C#       D#m
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
    G#m             Aº        Bb        D#m
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew

                Bb         G#m           C#
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly

      F#          G#m         Bb7
Takes hold of the mind of its host
    D#m          G#m      Bb7        D#m
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
       G#m         A°          Bb         D#m
The destruction of one who had needed her most

[Quarta Parte]

G#m         D#m           G#m          D#m
Lullay Moon princess, goodnight sister mine
                Bb            D#m
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bb7        D#m      Bb7          D#m
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth

        G#m                A°                Bb7
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
G#m       G#m7          C#          F#
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
    Bb       Bb7       D#m
And carry my sorrow in kind
B            D#m                F7       Bb
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
     G#m        Bb            B
May troubles be far from your mind
    G#m            Bb       D#m
And forgive me for being so blind

( G#  B  C#  B  G#m7  C# )

[Quinta Parte]

    F#5    F#   B
The years now before us
G#m            C#
Fearful and unknown
  F#5 F# B
I never imagined
     E        G#m   C#
I'd face them on my own
    F#5      F#     B
May these thousand winters
  G#m           C#7
Swiftly pass, I pray
  F#           B
I love you; I miss you
G#m       G#m7  C#
All these miles away

[Ponte]

Eb           G#m7      C#  C#7  F#
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
B     Cm7(5-) G#9/C       Bbm
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
B   Eb          G#m      C#       F#
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
    B                  G#           B        Bbm
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
 B   G#  A#
Sleep
