Rabbit and Moon (RAW)
04:58
|
|||
|
(Dm ) High above the (C) world, at night the (G) moon rose (Am) full and (Dm) bright
And (Am) on the ground down in the (C) field a (G) rabbit saw the (Dm) light
(C) The moon was full and (Am) graceful, the (G) light soothed Rabbit's (Dm) fears
(C) From that night he could (Dm) not deny (C) his longing to be (Dm) near.
(Chorus)
(Dm) Oh moon above, so (C) pure and (Dm) bright (Am) guide me where I must (Dm) go
(Am) I'll take a leap of (Dm) faith to you (C) until I reach my (Dm) goal
(Am) Each bound I take, each (Dm) step above (C) brings me to your (Dm) embrace
(Am) Surrounded by your cooling (G) grace (C) that's where I find my (Dm) place
(Dm) This is the song the (C) rabbit sang as he (G) stood (Am) on the (Dm) ground
(Am) Entranced by the gentle (C) glow that (G) lit the air (Dm) around
(C) As the moon crossed the (Am) heavens the (G) rabbit chased (Dm) along
(C) And as he hopped he (Dm) never stopped (C) singing his lovestruck (Dm) song
(Dm) The hours passed (C) until at last the (G) dawn was (Am) drawing (Dm) near
(Am) And Rabbit knew he'd have (C) to find (G) a way to get up (Dm) there.
(C) I know that you can't (Am) come to me, (G) he called out to the (Dm) moon
(C) So I must come to (Dm) you my love. (C) And this is what he (Dm) crooned.
(chorus)
(Dm) Rabbit climbed the (C) highest hill (G) until he (Am) reached the (Dm) top
(Am) From there he jumped into (C) the sky (G) only to downward (Dm) drop
(C) He climbed and leaped and (Am) leaped again, (G) aiming for his (Dm) goal
(C) Each time he fell back (Dm) to the ground (C) he sang love from his (Dm) soul
(Dm) At last the dawn (C) was breaking and the (G) moon passed (Am) from the (Dm) sky
(Am) Rabbit lay at the foot (C) of the (G) hill trying not to (Dm) cry
(C) He knew he'd never (Am) make it, but (G) his heart would not say (Dm) no
(C) Horizon's part broke (Dm) his heart when (C) his Moon had to (Dm) go.
(chorus)
(Dm) Why are you so (C) sad Rabbit, said (G) Great Spi-(Am)-rit from (Dm) above
(Am) Is the moon so lovely (C) that it (G) can be all you (Dm) love?
(C) You tried so hard to (Am) reach it, re-(G)-fusing to des-(Dm)-pair
(C) So I shall carry (Dm) you, my friend, (C) and you can dwell up (Dm) there.
(break)
(Dm) And that is (C) how the rabbit came to (G) live up (Am) on the (Dm) moon.
(Am) Forever is he thank-(C)-ful for (G) Great Spirit's generous (Dm) boon
(C) His courage took him (Am) higher, his (G) love helped him find (Dm) wings
(C) And if you listen (Dm) on cool nights (C) you can still hear Rabbit (Dm) sing
(Chorus)

The Friendship Song (or Unfriended)
(C ) I woke up Sunday (F) morning… (G) without too much to (D) do
(C )I had a fine day of (F) slouching planned (G ) with maybe a bath or (C ) two
(F) With a cup of jo and a (C ) piece of toast (D) I sat to read my (G) mail
(C ) And wade through the toxic (F) waste of posts made (G) by a friends list from (C ) hell.
(C )Now I didn’t want to (F) join that thing, but I (G) did it to talk to (D) you.
(C ) And my brother… and my (F) mother… and (G) my estranged Auntie (C ) Sue
(F) Something was wrong I (C ) soon realized as I (D) scrolled down bigot (G) lane
(C ) That’s when a suggested (F) friendship post popped (G) up and gave me your (C ) name.
So (F) cheers to fake (G) friendship
(C) I didn’t like you (Am) anyway
(C) I’m better off without your (F) litterbox of (D) eggshells to navi-(G)-gate
And (F) something else that (G) you should know
(C) Now our friendship’s (F) through
(C) Fuck you Fuck (G) you
Fuck you, (F) too
(C ) I was sure we were (F) friends already… (G) I looked and your name was (D) gone
(C ) And I admit that I (F) worried a bit… (G) about what I had done (C ) wrong
(F) Was it that meme about the (C ) cat or the (D) one about the (G) dinosaur?
(C ) Then I spent the day watching (F) video clips because it (G) doesn’t matter any-(C )-more
(C ) I wouldn’t have (F) accepted… (G) your friend request if I had (D) known
(C ) That some folks hate the (F) very idea of (G) thinking that’s not their (C ) own
(F ) Everyday what I (C ) had to say I (D) censored lest you hammered (G) down
(C ) On retrospect I can (F) only regret I let the (G) pressure run me under-(C )-ground.
(chorus)
(C ) It’s not like I’ve never un-(F)-friended… (G) my share of short-term (D) loves
(C ) You can’t please everyone (F) all of the time, (G) or so the saying (C ) goes
(F) Some bitter pills will (C ) take their ills and (D) spill them at your (G) feet
(C ) Expecting you to sweep it all (F) under the rug and (G) accept overwhelming (C ) defeat
(C ) So let’s have no hard (F) feelings... (G) May you find all the things you (D) need,
(C ) It was only a (F) matter of time ‘til you (G) discovered I was not your (C ) creed.
(F) There’s one final thing this (C ) drama brings that (D) I can only laugh (G) about
(C ) In this age of petty (F) screaming outrage… at least the (G) garbage takes its own self (C ) out.
So (F) cheers to fake (G) friendship
(C) I didn’t like you (Am) anyway
(C) I’m better off without your (F) litterbox of (D) eggshells to navi-(G)-gate
And (F) something else that (G) you should know
(C) Now our friendship’s (F) through
(C) Fuck you Fuck (G) you
(NC) and oh yeah (G) Fuck you, (F) too
Fuck you (C ) too!
