Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The moon is down
 All over town
 The forecast is grey
 Now that she's gone away
 The stars in the skies
 Fell out of her eyes
 They shattered when they hit the ground
 And now the moon is down
 The sun will be fine
 It'll still shine all the  time
 The sky will be blue
 And do what it's supposed to do
 Ya see gravity pulls
 But it can't keep you around
 It'll be one long day
 And now the moon is down
 (Repeat Intro)
 The moon is down
 All over town
 The stars in the skies
 Fell out of her eyes
 The gravity pulls
 But it can't hold you down
 It'll be one long day
 Now the moon is down
 It'll be on long day
 Now the moon is down
