Walk on the Moon

Written by John Stewart

A great song from the “Johnny Moonlight” CD, Neon Dreams, 2000. (Identical version on the “Buster” CD, Neon Dreams, same year). Good live version on the double CD “Front Row Music – Before the War”, Neon Dreams, 2001.

There are some great lines in that poem, “With the moonlight igniting the ground” is one that, hm, yes, it´s still true, makes me shiver with delight. Don´t dream it, be it… (spot the quote). And: “Only the dreamer understands.” This is a real team effort again.

Capo 4th fret

As if I (C)had all the (G)time in the (F)world,

And I (C)had all the (G)world in my (F)time,

There are (C)dreams that I'm (G)keeping in(F)side,

Like (C)verses that (G)never would (F)rhyme.

I still(C)dream I'll make (G)movies in (F)Spain,

(C)Photograph (G)dancers in (F)flight.

(C)Watching the (G)clock running (F)down,

And (Dm7)live in a(G)vailable (C)light.

And (F)I (G)still (C)dream I will (G)walk on the (F)moon,

If the (C)moon isn't (G)holding me (F)down,

(C)Racing the (F)future through (Dm)fields

With the (G)moonlight ig(G7)niting the (C5)ground.

(F)(C)(C9)(C)(Fj7/A) (C5) (F)(C)(C9)(C)(Fj7/A)

All the (C)young girls are (G)light years a(F)way,

And they (C)seem to be (G)browsing through (F)time.

And you (C)know that not (G)one can com(F)pare

With the (C)heart of this (G)true love of (F)mine.

(C5) (F)(C)(C9)(C)(Fj7/A) (C5) (F)(C)(C9)(C)(Fj7/A)

In the (C)waters of (G)all of my (F)tears,

The re(C)flections of (G)beautiful (F)times.

In my (C)dreams I am (G)holding the (F)wings

Of (Dm)angels I'm (G)hoping to (C)find.

And (F)I (G)still (C)dream I will (G)walk on the (F)moon,

If the (C)moon isn't (G)holding me (F)down,

(C)Racing the (F)future through (Dm)fields

With (G)moonlight ig(G7)niting the (C5)ground.

And (Dm)friends, who were (G)here, now they're (C)gone, (C7)

(Dm)Why does it (G)happen so (C)soon?

And, (F)as they are (G)closing their (C)eyes, (Am)

Do they (D7)dream they will walk on the (G)moon? (Dm7) (G)

And (F)I (G)still (C)dream I will (G)walk on the (F)moon

If the (C)moon isn't (G)holding me (F)down.

(C)Racing the (F)future through (Dm)fields

With (G)moonlight ig(G7)niting the (C)ground.

And (F)I (G)still (C)dream I will (G)walk on the (F)moon
