Fairport Convention - Rising for the Moon

      
 
 INTRO: (SINGLE STRUM)
 D A E E A A E D Dbm Bm 
           
 VERSE:
    A                 
 I travel over the sea
                       D Bm 
 And ride the rolling sky
       A                  
 For that's the way it is,
            D Bm E  
 That is my for-tune
 
            A                  
 There are many ears to please,
        D       F#m     D 
 Many people's love to try
      A    F#m      E 
 And every day's begun
                 A  
 Rising for the moon
 
 VERSE:
            A                   
 There's a heart in every place,
                              D  Bm 
 There's a tear for each farewell
       A                  
 For that's the way it is,
          D  Bm E  
 That is my fortune
 
       A                  
 I'll lure you as the lace
           D       F#m     D  
 That the wayward gypsies sell
           A     F#m      E  
 With the sinking of the sun,
                A  
 Rising of the moon
 
 CHORUS:
  D     Bm       D   
 Rising for the moon,
              A                
 The sun has set and it is dark
          D      F#m    Bm         
 But the star of the enchanted tune
      A             E  
 Is bright as any spark
 
       A               
 The chorus of the dusk
    D       F#m      D  
 Regail the evening lark
       A                E  
 Whose every day does start
                 A  
 Rising for the moon

 We travel over the sea
                       D Bm 
 And ride the rolling sky
       A                  
 For that's the way it is,

 That is our for-tune

 The chorus of the dusk

 The chorus of the dusk

 Regail the evening lark
