Shame on the Moon
Rodney Crowell, 1982· Songs Well-Known in America · p.287
Intro: G Em
G Em
Till you've been beside a man - you don't know what he wants
G Em
You don't know if he cries at night - You don't know if he don't
C G C G
When nothing comes easy - All nightmares are real
Em G Em G
Until you've been beside a man - You don't know how he feels
G Em
Once inside a woman's heart - A man must keep his head
G Em
Heaven opens up the door - Where angels fear to tread
C G C G
Some men go crazy - Some men go slow
Em G Em G
Some men go just where they want - Some men never go
Chorus:
B♭ G B♭ G
Ohhhhh Blame it on midnight ooooh Shame on the moon
(Instrumental)
G Em
Everywhere it’s all around - comfort in a crowd
G Em
Stranger's faces all abound - Laughing right out loud
C G C G
Hey watch where you're going Step light on your toes
Em G Em G
Until you've been beside a man - You don't know who he knows.
(Chorus Twice)
