tom paxton - looking for the moon lyrics
f dm
1. my heart is in the mountains, while my body is on
this train,
g g7 c
my head is anywhere but in today.
c c7 f dm
it’s cloudy in the city, and they say it looks like
rain,
g g7 c
got just one time long to hear the conductor say.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – f – g
are you looking for the moon ?
em – am
would you dance with her tonight ? f – g
would you chase her cross the shadows,
c – c7
as she goes sifting out of sight ?
f – g
leaving common sense behind you,
em – am
for a joy that ends so soon,
f g
rushing through the forest blind, never knowing what
you find,
c
looking for the moon.

2. the train is filled with strangers and every stop
there’s more,
g g7 c
we’re racing towards the gl-ss and granite walls.
c c7 f dm
while i‘m dreaming of my river where the rushing rapids
grow,
g g7 c
and from somewhere deep inside my spirit calls.
+ chorus + chorus as instrumental

3. we pull into the station and i join the taxi line,
g g7 c
it’s raining now like it means to rain all day.
c c7 f dm
this city has ten million dreams, not one of them is
mine,
g g7 c
so i turn myself around and i walk away.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – f – g
and i’ll go looking for the moon,
em – am
and i’ll dance with her tonight ?
f – g
and i’ll chase her cross the shadows,
c – c7
as she goes slipping out of sight.
f – g
leaving common sense behind me,
em – am
for a joy that ends so soon,
f g
rushing through the forest blind, never knowing what i
find,
c
looking for the moon.
f g
rushing through the forest blind, never knowing what i
find,
c
looking for the moon.
dm – g – c
are you looking for the moo……..n ?
