[Verse 1]
Cadd9       G    Em
It was the night
             C
Cold English night
Cadd9       G    Em
It was the day
             C
Long English day

[Chorus]
           D            D7          G        C
It was the moon shining down on the water so white
           G            D           C      G
It was the moon shining down on the water

[Verse 2]
Cadd9       G     Em
It was the house
            C
Old English house
Cadd9         G     Em
Blind as the night
                 C
She's dressed in white

[Chorus]
           D          D7          G              C
She was so warm, good Lord, how I miss her right now
              G            D           C      G
Just like the moon shining down on the water

[Verse 3]
Cadd9       G      Em
It was the night
             C
Cold English night
Cadd9       G     Em
It was the air
             C
Cold English air

[Chorus]
           D           D7        G             C
I can't explain, don't ask, it's stronger than me
              G            D           C     G
Just like the moon shining down on the water
           D                        C        G
It was the moon shining down on the water
