Rising Of The Moon

Am D G N.C. G Am The rising of the moon on the Oregon borderline D G Lights up the river's edge and the wild blackberry vine Em Am And the sand beneath my feet is a cool silver grey D G The moon dances on the water, and then it sails away N.C. G Am Am7 And I watch it sail away, somewhere where the river goes D G Am D G Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows N.C. G Am On the last day of July you sailed into my mind D G We were riding down a river, the wind blowing from behind Em Am There were two great blue herons flying through the trees D G Moving up the canyon, so silent and so free N.C. G Am Am7 And I watched them sail away somewhere where the river goes D G Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows INSTRUMENTAL: G Am D G Am D G N.C. G Am And I hope the years are happy and the winters aren't too cold D G And that life won't treat you badly, I'd like to see you when you're old Em Am I'll keep you in my heart like the crying of the loon D G And wonder how you are at the rising of the moon N.C. G Am Am7 And I watched you sail away somewhere where the river goes D G Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows Am Am7 I watched you sail away somewhere where the river goes D G Am D G Some love lasts forever, just like the river flows
