Yonder Mountain String Band - Half Moon Rising

      
 
 Capo 2nd
 
 Verse 1:
           G                 C              D         Em   C     G   
 There's a house somewhere I know where the fires burn all night long
           G                    C             D           Em 
 There's a swing outside on the porch where I feel I could
      D        C                
 Rock away the dusk til the dawn
    Am                           G      
 And even though the wind may be howlin'
 Am                        C              D 
 Stars are bright and they push me on and on
 
 Chorus:
           C         G         D            Em   
 There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies
           C         G       D                G     
 There's a cold wind blowin' across the great divide
         C          G        D              Em   
 And the stars they guide my way across the night
           C         G       D               G                D  
 There's a half moon rising, pushin me on to another mountain top
 D           G                 D                
 Push me on, no I'll never stop, push me on home
           C         G         D                    G C D Em 
 There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies tonight
 
 Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1):
 
 Now the shoes on my feet, those soles broken down
 And my coat is tattered and worn
 And the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head
 Will vanish 'ere my first glimpse of home
 And even though the rain may now be fallin'
 The passion is deep and pushes me on
 
 (Chorus)
 
 there's a still at dawn like the sound of your love's breath
 As she lies sleeping
 Down below me now in the valley
 Is the only piece on earth that I ever want to know
 And her lips are as soft as I remember
 She alone has brought me back on home
 
 (Chorus)
