Shy Of The Moon

G
Pretty little girl on the side of the road

Yellow hair in a yellow bow

Little thumb sticking in the exit lane

Two packs of smokes and a candy cane
      C
With women hips and baby lips
                                    G
A Hallelujah book in the back of a pillow-slip
    D
If she gets out of here too soon
D7                                 G
She'll run fast by the shy of the moon

G
She's been havin' the same old dreams

Of lullabies and pale blue skies

Fallen asleep beneath the stars
                                    C
Orion aims and shoots his arrows oh so far

Aims 'em hard
                                         G
He shoots the moon and takes her as his own reward
D
If she's gonna see those stars too soon
D7                                G
She'll run fast by the shy of the moon

G
If she found out so long ago 

That she wants more than all she knows

The river ends right as she goes
                                        C
Water breaks and she's gone down in the undertow
                                                     G
She's below, but I'll stand tall and hold up high my mistletoe
D
She's gonna shine just like brand new
D7                                                  G
She'll take my hand and we'll run by the shy of the moon
