C
Brown eyes and I were tired
We had walked and we had scrambled
Through the moors and through the briars
Through the endless blue meanders
       Am   G        F
In the blue   August Moon
       Am   G        F
In the cool   August Moon

C
Over the nights and through the fires
We went surging down the wires
Through the towns and on the highways
Through the storms in all their thundering
       Am   G        F
In the blue   August Moon
       Am   G        F
In the cool   August Moon

C
Then we rested in a desert
Where the bones were white as teeth sir
And we saw St. Elmo's fire
Splitting ions in the Ether

Solo over:
Am - G - F - F  - (4x)

       Am   G        F
In the blue   August Moon
       Am   G        F
In the cool   August Moon
       Am   G        F
In the blue   August Moon
       Am   G        F
In the cool   August Moon
