  If you want to write a song about the moon

Dm       F7                     |Bb       |Eb9(no 3rd) |
   Walk along the craters of the afternoon

F                      C6/E
  When the shadows are deep

       |A7            Dm|
And the light is alien

Bb                         |Eb            Edim 
   And gravity leaps like a knife off the pavement
