As The Moon Starts To Rise

F Bb Gm C


[Verse 1]

F
  I could hear you laughing
           Bb
When the pigeons got your napkin
          Gm
You were barefoot in the blades of grass
     C
I swear I can still hear you laugh

F
Picking berries off the vine
Bb
This one's yours this one's mine
    Gm
Remember in the winter time
      C
It looked like they were dying


[Chorus]

Dm       F             Bb       Gm
As the moon starts to rise up tonight
         Bb            Gm        C
We'€ll look up at the flashing lights
Dm        F             Bb       Gm
Wave as they fly away across the sky
  C                              F
Wonder who is up there in the planes


[Bridge]

F Bb Gm C


[Verse 2]

F
  Looking through the telescope
  Bb
Asking questions no one knows
 Gm
I make up the answers
   C
You said the stars were tiny dancers

 F
You look so much bigger now
  Bb
Time goes by so fast somehow
   Gm
Another summer'€s come and gone
     C
Soon the days won'€t last so long


[Chorus]

Dm       F             Bb       Gm
As the moon starts to rise up tonight
         Bb            Gm        C
We'll look up at the flashing lights
Dm        F             Bb       Gm
Wave as they fly away across the sky
  C                              F
Wonder who is up there in the planes


[Bridge]

Bb Gm C C Dm F Bb Gm C C F F


[Verse 3]

   F
Last night I came into your room
    Bb
Told you I'€d be leaving soon
      Gm
You were almost sleeping
 C
I could hear your heart beating

  F
I sang you a lullaby
   Bb
You asked me where I was going this time
     Gm
Cleveland and the Finger Lakes
  C
Back down toward the Chesapeake


[Chorus]

Dm       F             Bb       Gm
As the moon starts to rise up tonight
         Bb            Gm        C
Try to find the flashing lights
Dm             F      Bb  Gm
Wave at the sky as I fly away
    C                            F
I'll be waving back down from the plane
