Moon Cradle Chords

(ver. 1)
Loreena Mckennitt


[Intro]
C   D   C   D

[Verse 1]
                                   C
When the moon cradle's rocking and rocking
                             D
Where a cloud and a cloud go by
                     C
Silently rocking and rocking
                             D
The moon cradle's out in the sky

[Verse 2]
                            C
Then comes the lad with the hazel
                              D
And the folding star's in the rack
                              C
"Night's a good herd," to the cattle he sings
                       D
"She brings all things back"

[Verse 3]
                              C
But the bondwoman down by the boorie
                         D
Sings with a heart grown wild
                         C
How a hundred rivers are flowing
                        D
Between herself and her child

[Verse 4]
                             C
"The geese, even they trudge homeward
                              D
That have their wings and the waste
                                  C
Let your thoughts be on Night the Herder
                   D
And be quiet for a space"

[Verse 5]
                                   C
When the moon cradle's rocking and rocking
                             D
Where a cloud and a cloud go by
                     C
Silently rocking and rocking
                             D
The moon cradle's out in the sky

[Verse 6]
                            C
The snipe, they are crying, crying
                     D
Liadine, liadine, liadine
                                      C
Where no track's on the bog, they are flying
                       D
A lonely dream will be mine
                                      C
Where no track's on the bog, they are flying
                       D
A lonely dream will be mine

[Outro]
