VERSE 1
[C]Have you ever [Cadd9]watched a [C]moonbeam, C//Cadd9/C////
As it [G]slid across your window[G7]pane?[G] [G7]
Or [G]struggled with a bit of [G7]rain,
Or [G]danced about the weather [G7]vane,
Or [C]sat along a [Cadd9]moving [C]train,
And wondered [Cadd9]where the [C]train has been.

BRIDGE
Or [C7]on a fence with bits of crap,
Around its bottom,
[F]Blown there by a windbeam.
Who [D7]searches for the moonbeam,
Who was last seen

[G]Looking at the [G7]tracks
Of the [G]careless wind[G7]beam
Or [G]moving to the [G7]tracks
Of the [G]tireless freight [G7]train
And [G]lighting up the [G7]sides
Of the [G]weather vane
And the [G7]bits of rain
And the [G]windowpane
And the [G7]eyes of those
Who [G]think they saw what ha[C]ppened C//Cadd9/C////C//Cadd9/C////
