[This song is actually in Eb. These chords - in G - are played with
a capo on the 8TH FRET. Another guitar plays in D with a capo on the
1st fret, but those chords aren't nearly as much fun to play.]
[In the parts that go G C D D, the D alternates between D and D(9),
but I think the guitar in A (capo 1) is playing A and Asus4.]

intro
SOL DO RE RE
I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair
SOL DO RE RE
And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere
MIm DO SOL RE
And the sky turned water color pink and gold and blue
MIm DO SOL RE
And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon
DO - SOL/SI DO - SOL/SI
And I thought about you and I wondered why I
DO - SOL/SI LAm LAm
Took so long to say goodbye
DO - SOL/SI DO - SOL/SI
Oh you shined so bright you blinded me
DO - SOL/SI LAm LAm
And left me so I couldn't see
DO(9) SOL RE RE
That I was the moon chasing the sun
MIm DO SOL RE
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
DO(9) SOL RE RE
No matter how fast I would run
DO SOL RE RE
Like the moon chasing the sun
DO SOL RE RE
Just like the moon chasing the sun
SOL DO RE RE SOL DO RE RE
[instrumental]
The crickets called and the moon peeked out of the eastern sky
They both start up about this time each night
And the evening breeze dropped by and brought some sweet relief
And in the silver light I finally let go of the heat
And I thought about you and I wondered why
I took so long to say goodbye
Oh you shined so bright you blinded me
And left me so I couldn't see
That I was the moon chasing the sun
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
No matter how fast I would run
Like the moon chasing the sun
Just like the moon chasing the sun
