Eb
A boy was looking at the sky
    Gm                            Ab
His telescope and eager eyes were fixed on the distance
           Eb
He thought nothing else could come between
    Gm
His life was full and evergreen
    Fm
And gone in an instant
                     Gm
The moon was waiting for someone
                  Bb    Cm   Ab
To come along and waste some time
Bb    Cm   Bb Cm    Fm
Waste some precious time
            Bb
It was over all too soon

[Chorus]
Eb         Ab
Astounding moon

Solemn and pale
Eb         Ab
Astounding moon
                   Gm Fm
There hangs a tale

A fool is never alone
Db   Bb       Eb
A|----sto| unding moon

[Verse 2]
       Eb
She'll eat you out of house and home
     Gm
Then leave you feeling more alone
   Ab
As if it never happened
    Eb
But winter skies are clear and bright
    Gm
The stars as close as satellites
     Fm
Or a drinking glass that's shattered
                    Gm
The moon is waiting for someone
                  Bb   Cm    Ab
To come along and waste some time
Bb   Cm   Bb  Cm  Fm
Take some precious time
             Bb
It'll all be over soon

[Chorus]
Eb         Ab
Astounding moon

Solemn and pale
Eb         Ab
Astounding moon
                   Gm Fm
There hangs a tale

A fool is never alone
Db   Bb        Fm
A|----sto| unding moon

[Bridge]

B                        Ab/C
Putting me in touch with myself
           Bb
You know me so well
