 The last  that ever she saw  him
Carried  away by a moonlight shadow
 He passed  on worried and warning
Carried  away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost  in a river last Saturday  night
Far  away  on the other  side.
 He was caught  in the middle of a desperate  fight
 And she couldn't  find how  to push through
 The trees  that whisper in the evening
Carried  away by a moonlight shadow
 Sing a song  of sorrow and grieving
Carried  away by a moonlight shadow
All  she saw was a silhouette  of a gun
Far  away  on the other  side.
 He was shot  six times by a man  on the run
 And she couldn't  find how  to push through
I  stay I pray
 I see you  in heaven far  away
I  stay I pray
 I see you  in heaven far  away
Four  am in the morning
Carried  away by a moonlight shadow
 I watched  your vision forming
Carried  away by a moonlight shadow
Star  was light in a silvery  night
Far  away  on the other  side
 Will you come  to talk to me  this night
 But she couldn't  find how  to push through
I  stay I pray
 I see you  in heaven far  away
I  stay I pray
 I see you  in heaven far  away
 (Use same chords for one verse TWICE for solo)
 Far away on the other side.
Caught  in the middle of a hundred  and five
The  night was heavy but the air  was alive
 She couldn't  find how  to push through
Carried  away by a moonlight shadow
Carried  away by a moonlight shadow
Far  away  on the other  side.
