Introduction:
A7 Gm7 A4/7 A7 D7M D6
There was a moon out in space
A7(13) E7(9) A7(13) D
But a cloud drifted over its face
Em7 Gm7 Gº D Bm7
You kissed me and went on your way
A7 Gº D
The night we called it a day
A7 Gm7 A4/7 A7 D7M D6
I heard the song of the spheres
A7(13) E7(9) A7(13) D
Like a minor lament in my ears
Em7 Gm7 Gº D Bm7
I hadn't the heart left to pray
A7 Gº D
The night we called it a day
Bridge
G A7 D Gm7 Gº A7 D
Soft through the dark, the hoot of an owl in the sky
Gº F#7 Bm Bm7 E Gm7 A7
Sad though his song, no bluer was he than I
A7 Gm7 A4/7 A7 D7M D6
The moon went down, stars were gone
A7(13) E7(9) A7(13) D
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
Em7 Gm7 Gº
There wasn't a thing left to say
A7A Gm7 A7 D6
The night we called it a day
