The Moon Is High

Roger Miller


Tom: G

D
Well the moon is high and so am I
                                   G
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
And I can tell you're mad at me
                                D
There you stand, telling me goodbye
    A
And I say no, you can't go
                                          G
I love you so much, I can't let you get away
       A                                D
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

G
Love don't leave me, don't leave me laying here
D
This ground is cold and chilly really
Don't leave your charming Billy
A
Way out here, you hear?
Well the moon is high and so am I
                                      G
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
       A                              D
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

Eb
Well the moon is high and so am I
                                      Ab
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
And I can tell you're mad at me
                                          Eb
'Cause there you stand, telling me goodbye
     Bb
And I say no, you can't go
                                         Ab
I love you so much, I can't let you get away
        Bb                                            Eb
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

Ab
Love don't leave me, don't leave me laying here
Eb
This ground is cold and chilly really
Don't leave your charming Billy
Bb
Way out here, you hear?
Well the moon is high and so am I
                                      Ab
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
       Bb                              Eb
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone
