C  D  G
 
G                  B7
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms
C                  D
It’s raining out tonight
G             B7
What a way to end the day
C                  D
By turnin’ out the light
C              D                 G
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
G/F# Em
I’m sending 
C             D             G
Most of me to sunny country side

G               B7
Runnin’ through sky of blue 
C              D
Rollin’ in the sun
G         B7
Every day has a way 
C              D
Of overflowing one
C              D                 G
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
G/F# Em
I’m keeping
C             D             G
Most of me in sunny country side
 
REPEAT INTRO
 
G                 B7
Don’t know how I did that now
C                 D
Wonder where it’s gone
G               B7
Must have spent the way I went
C               D
Waitin’ for the dawn
C              D                 G
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
G/F# Em
I’m screaming
C               D             G
Take me back to sunny country side
C              D                 G
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
G/F# Em
I’m screaming
C               D             G
Take me back to sunny country side
 
REPEAT INTRO
 
G                   B7
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms
     C             G
It’s rainin’ out tonight...
