INTRO (0:00)

VERSE 1 (0:10)

Chimney falls and lovers blaze

Thought that I was young

Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins

As numb as I've be-come

I'm so tired

I wish I was the moon to-night

VERSE 2 (0:40)

Last night I dreamt I had for-got-ten my name

'Cause I had sold my soul

but awoke just the same

I'm so lonely

I wish I was the moon to-night

(1:09)

(1:22)

VERSES 3 & 4 (1:25) Same chords as VERSE 1

God blessed me, I'm a free man

With no place free to go

I'm paralyzed and collared-tight

No pills for what I fear

This is crazy

I wish I was the moon tonight

Chimney falls and lovers blaze

Thought that I was young

Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins

As numb as I've become

I'm so tired,

I wish I was the moon tonight

BRIDGE (2:16)

How will you know if you found me at last?

'Cause I'll be the one, be the one,

be the one with my heart in my lap

I'm so tired, I'm so tired

I wish I was the moon to-night

(2:55)

(3:01)

I'm so tired, I'm so tired

I wish I was the moon...

I'm so tired, I'm so tired

I wish I was the moon to-night.

I first heard this song when my friend asked if we could learn it to play at a

fundraiser. I couldn't find a tab, so I tried to figure it out by ear. I think what I

have here

is pretty close, but let me know if you think anything is off, or you've found sound

something that sounds better. My e-mail is: Freeze1186@neo.rr.com. Lastly, if you maybe don't

know the G/B chord, it's fingered: (lowest string to highest) x20033.
