[G]You are the sun, [A]I am the moon, [G]You are the words, [A7]I am the tune, [D]play me.

[D]Song, she sang to me, song she brang to me, [D]Words that rang in me, rhyme that sprang from me, [G]warmed the night. And what was right be[D]came me.

[G]You are the sun, [A]I am the moon, [G]You are the words, [A7]I am the tune, [D]play me.

[D] [D] [D] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D] [G] [C] [G] [A] [D]
