The Sad Milkman

	  		





        VERSE 

               E 
Above the dark house 

               A 
On a black tar roof 

              B7 
Stood the sad milkman 

                 E 
In love with the moon 

                  E 
She filled up his window 

                  A 
With a soft milky light 
                   
                  B7 
He crawled up the chimney  

             E      E7 
And into the night 


        Chorus 

                 A 
But the moon she rises 

                 E 
And the moon she falls 

                   B7 
And her slow white eye 

                E 
Sees nothing at all 


        VERSE 

            E 
Down on the sidewalk 

                 A 
A crowd gathered round 

                                 B7 
They were throwing up bricks and bottles 

                 E 
To knock the boy down 

             E         E7 
He stood up above them 

                      A 
With his hands in the air 

                  B7 
Calling up to the moonbeams 

                   E     E7 
Come let down your hair 




                 A 
But the moon she rises 

                 E 
And the moon she falls 

                   B7 
And her slow white eye 

                E 
Sees nothing at all 



        VERSE 

(fingerpicking) 

                  E 
Well he wanted to feel like 

            A 
A bucket of milk 

               B7 
A sweet summer wind 

                 E 
On rolling green hills 

(strumming) 

             E         E7 
He wanted to climb up 

                      A 
From the roof sailing up 

               B7 
Upon the night wind 

                   E     E7 
To the arms of... 




        Chorus 

                 A 
But the moon she rises 

                 E 
And the moon she falls 

                   B7 
And her slow white eye 

                E 
Sees nothing at all, oh no 

                    A 
And as the moon she rises 

                 E 
And the moon she falls 

                    B7 
Well her slow white eye 

                E 
Sees nothing at all
