Rising Of The Moon

	  		 


nd Fret 



Intro: Am  D  G 

N.C.              G                        Am   
The rising of the moon on the Oregon borderline 
                      D                            G 
Lights up the river's edge and the wild blackberry vine 
                        Em                    Am 
And the sand beneath my feet is a cool silver grey 
                       D                         G 
The moon dances on the water, and then it sails away 


Chorus: 
 N.C.                 G                              Am    Am7 
 And I watch it sail away, somewhere where the river goes 
                D                             G       Am  D  G 
 Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows 


N.C.                 G                    Am   
On the last day of July you sailed into my mind 
                      D                              G 
We were riding down a river, the wind blowing from behind 
                          Em                        Am 
There were two great blue herons flying through the trees 
              D                     G 
Moving up the canyon, so silent and so free 

Chorus: 
 N.C.                     G                             Am    Am7 
 And I watched them sail away somewhere where the river goes 
                D                             G        
 Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows 


Instrumental: G  Am  D  G    Am  D  G 


N.C.                     G                                Am   
And I hope the years are happy and the winters aren't too cold 
                              D                                      G 
And that life won't treat you badly, I'd like to see you when you're old 
                    Em                           Am 
I'll keep you in my heart like the crying of the loon 
                   D                        G 
And wonder how you are at the rising of the moon 


Chorus: 
 N.C.                    G                             Am    Am7 
 And I watched you sail away somewhere where the river goes 
                D                             G       
 Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows 


Chorus: 
                                                   Am    Am7 
 I watched you sail away somewhere where the river goes 
                D                             G       Am  D  G 
 Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows
