Beneath A Moonless Sky

	  		
verse 1 
Ebm               Abm     Db               Ebm 
Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky 
      Bb7           Ebm        Bb7          Ebm 
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try 
Ebm               Abm      Db             Ebm 
I strode to your side to tell you I must go 
      Bb7             Ebm       Bb7           Ebm 
I couldn't see your face but sensed you even so 

Chorus 
         Ebm 
And I touched you (Christine) 
       Ebm 
And I felt you (Phantom) 
          Ebm                    Abm 
And I heard those ravishing refrains 
      Db           Ebm 
The music of the past 
      Bb7              Ebm 
The singing in your veins 

       Ebm 
And I held you (Christine) 

And I touched you (Phantom) 
         Ebm 
And embraced you (Christine) 

And I felt you (Phantom) 

          Ebm                     Abm 
And with every breath and every sigh 
    Db              Ebm 
I felt no longer scared 
    Bb7            Ebm 
I felt no longer shy 
    Bb7                Ebm 
At last our feelings bared 
    Bb7              Ebm 
Beneath a moonless sky 

verse 2 
  Ebm              Abm      Db             Ebm 
And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul 
     Bb7              Ebm      Bb7              Ebm 
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole 
 Ebm                Abm         Db          Ebm 
Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress 
    Bb7       Ebm      Bb7              Ebm 
A woman and a man, no more and yet no less 

Chorus 2 
        Ebm 
And I kissed you (Christine) 
        Ebm 
And caressed you (Phantom) 
         Ebm                    Abm 
And the world around just fell away 
     Db                 Ebm 
We said things in the dark 
     Bb7           Ebm 
We never dared to say 

       Ebm 
And I caught you (Phantom) 

And I kissed you (Christine) 
       Ebm 
And I took you (Phantom) 

And caressed you (Christine) 

        Ebm                 Abm 
With a need too blatant to deny 
      Db               Ebm 
And nothing mattered then 
   Bb7             Ebm 
Except for you and I 
   Bb7           Ebm 
Again and then again 
    Bb7             Ebm 
Beneath a moonless sky 

verse 3 
 Em               Am    D                 Em 
And when it was done before the sun could rise 
   B7              Em     B7               Em 
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes 
 Em                Am        D              Em 
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye 
     B7               Em     B7              Em 
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky 

Chorus 3 
        Em 
And I loved you 
         Em 
Yes, I loved you 
          Em                    Am 
I'd have followed anywhere you lead 
    D               Em 
I woke to swear my love 
     B7               Em 
And found you gone instead 

        Em 
And I loved you 

(How I loved you) 
        Em 
And I left you 

(How I loved you) 

        Em                     Am 
And I had to, both of us knew why 

We both knew why 
     D             Em 
And yet I won't regret 
      B7          Em 
From now until I die 
      B7            Em 
The night I can't forget 
   B7               Em 
Beneath a moonless sky
