C G Am D 


    G          Am            G 
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall; 
    C         G              Am     D 
She shines on thieves on the garden wall, 
   G           Am         D       Em  Eb 
On streets and fields and harbour quays, 
    G                     C            G 
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. 


    C          G           Am            G 
But all of the things that belong to the day 
C         G           Am         D 
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; 
   G            Am       G     D     Em Eb 
And flowers and children close their eyes 
     Em        G           C   Am    G 
Till up in the morning the sun shall rise 


    G         Am          G 
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse, 
    C         G        Am          D 
The howling dog by the door of the house, 
    G        Am      D      Em  Eb 
The bat that lies in bed at noon, 
    G                     C            G 
All love to be out by the light of the moon. 


    C          G           Am            G 
But all of the things that belong to the day 
C         G           Am         D 
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; 
   G            Am       G     D     Em Eb 
And flowers and children close their eyes 
     Em        G           C   Am    G 
Till up in the morning the sun shall rise
