Standing on the moon - I got no cobweb on my shoe
 D                G          C
Standing on the moon - I'm feeling so alone and blue
          D            G      C          G
I see the Gulf of Mexico - As tiny as a tear
C   G              D     (G)      C
The coast of California - Must be somewhere over here

Over here

Standing on the moon - I see the battle rage below
 D                G              C
Standing on the moon - I see the soldiers come and go
          D             G                C              G
There's a metal flag beside me - Someone planted long ago
C   G                 D       G         C
Old Glory standing stiffly - Crimson, white and indigo
    G                 D       G         C
Old Glory standing stiffly - Crimson, white and indigo

I see all of Southeast Asia - I can see El Salvador
  D                   G                C     Bm       Am
I hear the cries of children - And the other songs of war
     D             Am            D                     Am   Bm
It's like a mighty melody - That rings down from the sky
 C                              G                D    G        C
Standing here upon the moon, I watch it all roll by - All roll by - -
Bm       Am     G        F      F#
All roll by - - All roll by - - -

Standing on the moon - I see a shadow on the sun
 D                G                  C
Standing on the moon - The stars go fading one by one
  D              G          C           G
I hear a cry of victory - Another of defeat
C G                D    (G)       C
A scr*p of age-old lullaby - Down some forgotten street

G  G  G  C


[Verse 4]
 D                G                   D                G
Standing on the moon - Where talk is cheap and vision true
 D                G                C
Standing on the moon - But I would rather be with you
D                    G            C               G
Somewhere in San Francisco - On a back porch in July
C    G             D       (G)      C
Just looking up at heaven - At this crescent in the sky
         G  C
In the sky


[Outro]
 D                G         C                G  C
Standing on the moon - With nothing left to do
  G               D       G       C
A lovely view of heaven - But I'd rather be with you
  G               D       G       C
A lovely view of heaven - But I'd rather be with you
