The Moonbeam Song

The Moonbeam Song       -       Harry Nilsson



The song is played by 2 guitars [besides strings etc]. I tried to catch the feel into 1 guitar.

Have you   ever watched a moonbeam, 

      G7*                            G7*         

As it   slid across your windowpane? 

   G7*                                G7*         

Or   struggled with a bit of rain, Or   danced about the weathervane,

   C*                              C*           

Or   sat along a moving train, And   wondered where the train has been.

   C7*                               C7*         

Or   on a fence with bits of crap, A-   round its bottom,

F*                            F*               

   Blown there by a windbeam. 

    D7*                         D7*              

Who   searches for the moonbeam,   Who was last seen

G7*                            G7*               

   Looking at the tracks Of the   careless windbeam

   G7*                           G7*             

Or   moving to the tracks, Of the   tireless freight train

    G7*                                      

And   lighting up the sides, 

       G7*                                   

Of the   weathervane - And the bits of rain

        G7*                                  

And the   windowpane - And the eyes of those

    G7*                        C*      C*            

Who   think they saw what hap-   pened
