Watch The Moon Come Down - Graham Parker, The Rumour

G c In this dirty town there’s nothing going for me

G c No shows going down that i would want to see

G em c Nothing but the midnight tra----in

G c In this shady street on a top floor flat

G c Women take their sheets down to the laundromat

G em c And as the night falls on this to-----wn

G d em d c

I’m going to watch the moon come down

G d em d c Watch the moon come down

G d em d c

I’m gonna watch the moon come down

G d em d Watch it come down

G c As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome

G c Splashing through the gutters and the sand

G c The birds move in the rafters hearing echoes of the laughter

G c From children in a playground close at hand

D bm And hands inside my pockets, staring at the light sockets

C d Everyone’s been blown out everyone’s been thrown out

I said baby baby baby baby baby

Repeat chorus

G c If i stay out all night test the midnight train’s headlights

G c Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend

G c Now who’ve i got to let down, tell me somebody with their head down

G c d bm

Bargin’into solid ground in the end in the end, yeah in the end

C d Waitin for the end, arrive to the end, hey hey (guitar solo)

I said baby baby baby baby baby

G d em d c Watch the moon come down (three times)

G d em d c Yes i’m going to watch the moon come down

G d em d c Yeah i’m going to watch the moon come down like a midnight train uh huh

G c Uh uh i’m going to watch the moon come down watch it come down

G c Yes i’m going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train (fade)
