The Moon Struck One

(the | means a new measure and the / means the bass note on the current chord.)



Intro:  |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |

|g-7      |g-7	       |d-7	      |d-7		 |

Julie and little john tyler	lived in the   house next door

G-7 d-7		 |g-7	   d-7	|e-7b5	       |eb-j7  |

We would be the great triangle and to this we swore

D-		  |ebj7      |bb      d-/a	 |g-	 |

Julie was my sweetheart, little john was my cohort

C	  /bb	      |/a	     /g   |f		    |f	   |

And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart

Gb		     |gb		 |bb  ebadd2 |bb  ebadd2

Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun

|gb 	       |gb		      |bb  ebadd2 |bb  ebadd2 |

And promised to return before the moon struck one

Bb  ebadd2 |bb  ebadd2 ||gb |gb |eb-7 |eb-7 ||



Julie came running through the pasture--she was screaming at the sky

She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly

Little john was stung by a snake over by the lake

And it looked like he s really, really hurt--he was lying in the dirt

Who, we went it as fast as we could run

|bb  ebadd2 |bb  ebadd2 |

But we lost little john as the moon struck one

Bb  ebadd2 |bb  ebadd2 ||gb |gb |eb-7 |eb-7



I was vacant, julie was a bird with a broken wing

We were always afraid of what tomorrow might bring

We'll drive down to durango--up and leave this place

And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace

The car broke down when we had just begun

|bb ebadd2 |

And we walked back to the house while the moon struck one

Bb ebadd2 |[7x] then g-7
