Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Have  you ever watched a  moonbeam,  as it slid  across your window pane?
Or  struggled with a bit of rain,  or danced about the weather vane
 Or settled  on a moving train  and wondered where the train  has been?
Or  on a fence with bits of crap around  it's bottom,
Blown  there by a windbeam, who searches  for the moonbeam
 Who was last seen looking at  the tracks  of the careless windbeam,
Movin'  to the tracks of  the tireless freight  train
 And lighting  up the sides  of the  weather vane
 And the  bits of rain,  and the window pane
 And the eyes  of those who think  they saw  it happen.
Aah  ah ah  aah ahhh, Aah  ah ah aah ahhh
Aah  ah ah aah ahhh
 Looking at the tracks of the careless windbeam,
 Movin' to the tracks of the tireless freight train
 And lighting up the sides of the weather vane
 And the bits of rain, and the window pane
 And the eyes of those who think they saw it happen.

[C]  [C9] [C]

[C]Have you ever watched a[C9] mo[C]onb[C9]eam,[C] as it [G]slid across your window pa[G9]ne?[G]
[G]Or struggled with a bit of [G9]rai[G]n, or danced about the [G9]weather [G]vane
Or [C]settled on a [C9]moving [C]train and wondered where the [C9]train has [C]been?

[C]Or on a fence with bits of crap ar[C7]ound it's bottom,
[F]Blown there by a windbeam, who [D]searches for the moonbeam
Who was last seen [G]looking [G9]at the [G]tracks of the careless [G9]wind[G]beam,
[G]Movin' to the [G9]tracks [G]of the [G9]tireless [G]freight train
And [G]lighting up [G9]the [G]sides of the[G9] weather [G]vane
And the[G] bits of [G9]rain, and the [G]window [G9]pane
And the [G]eyes of [G9]those [G]who [G9]think they [G]saw it ha[C]ppen.

[C]Aah ah ah[C9] aah [C]ahhh, [F]Aah ah ah [F9]aah [F]ahhh
[D]Aah ah ah [D9]aah [D]ahhh

Looking at the tracks of the careless windbeam,
Movin' to the tracks of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides of the weather vane
And the bits of rain, and the window pane
And the eyes of those who think they saw it happen.
