C G (G7) I could sing something old, if an old one would do, C F G But the world it is craving to have something new. C G C F But what to select for the words or the tune? C F G C I, in fact, know no more than the Man in the Moon. [Chorus] C G The Man in the Moon a new light on us throws, C F G He's a man we all talk of but nobody knows. Am G C F And though a high subject, I'm getting in tune, C F G F G I'll just sing a song for the Man in the Moon. [Verse] C G C F Tis said that some people are moonstruck, we find, C F C G But the Man in the Moon must be out of his mind. C G C F But it can't be for love for he's quite on his own, C F G C No ladies to meet him by moonlight alone. C G (G7) It can't be ambition, for rivals he's none, C F G At least he is only eclipsed by the sun, Am G C F But when drinking, I say, he is seldom surpassed, C F G C For he always looks best when he's seen through a glass. [Chorus] C G The Man in the Moon a new light on us throws, C F G He's a man we all talk of but nobody knows. Am G C F And though a high subject, I'm getting in tune, C F G C I'll just sing a song for the Man in the Moon. [Instrumental verse and chorus] C G C F C F C G C G C F C F G C C C G G C C F G Am G C F C F G C [Verse] C G C F The Man in the Moon he must lead a queer life, C F C G With no one around him, not even a wife, C G C F No friends to console him, no children to kiss, C F G C No chance of his joining a party like this. C G (G7) But he's used to the high life, all circles agree, C F G That none move in such a high circle as he, Am G C F And though nobles go up in their royal balloon, C F G C They're not introduced to the Man in the Moon. [Chorus] C G The Man in the Moon a new light on us throws, C F G He's a man we all talk of but nobody knows. Am G C F And though a high subject, I'm getting in tune, C F G C I'll just sing a song for the Man in the Moon. [Chorus] N.C. The Man in the Moon a new light on us throws, He's a man we all talk of but nobody knows. And though a high subject, I'm getting in tune, I'll just sing a song for the Man in the Moon.
