Boy With A Moon And Star On His Head Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]A gardener's daughter stopped me on my way,
on [G]the day I [A]was to [D]wed
It is [Em]you who I [G]wish to share
my [Em]body [A]with she [D]said
We'll find a dry place under the sky
with [G]a flower [A]for [D]a bed
And for my [Em]joy I will [G]give you
a boy with [E]a moon [A]and star
On his [D]head
Her silver hair flowed in the air laying
[G]waves [A]across [F#m]the sun[D]
Her [Em]hands were like the white [G]sands,
and her eye[Em]s had dia[A]monds on[D]
We left the road and [G]headed [D]up to
[G]the top of [A]the whisper [D]wood
And we [Em]walked 'till [G]we came to
where the holy [Em]magno[A]lia [D]stood
And there we laid cool [G]in [D]the shade singing
[G]songs and [A]making love

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
With [Em]the naked earth beneath [G]us and the uni[Em]verse
[A]abo[D]ve[G][A][D][G][A][D][G]
[A][D]
The time was late my wedding [G]wouldn't
[D]wait I [Bm]was sad but I [A]had to [D]go
So [Em]while she was [G]asleep I kissed her
cheek [Em]for [A]cheerio
[D]

[Verse 3]
The wedding took place and [G]people came
[D]from man[G]y mil[A]es aro[D]und[A][D][B][E][D]
[Em]There was plenty mer[G]riment,
cider [A]and wine [D]abound
But out of all that I recall I re
[G]membered the [A]girl [D]I met
[Em]'Cause she had given me something
[G]that my hea[Em]r could not[A] forget[D]
[G]La [A]la [D]la la
La [G]la [A]la la
[D]La la [G]la la

[Verse 4]
[A]A y[D]ear had passed and ever[G]ything was
[D]just as it [G]was [A]a year be[F#m]fore[Bm]
[D]As if [G]was [A]a year be[D]fore
Un[Em]til the gift that [G]someone left,
[Em]a basket [A]by [D]my door
And in there lay [G]the fairest little
[D]baby [G]crying [A]to [D]be fed
[Em]I got down on my [G]knees and
kissed the moon [Em]and [A]star
Oh, oh on his [D]head

[Verse 5]
[D]
As years went by [G]the boy grew [D]high and
the [G]village looked [A]on in [D]awe
They'd [Em]never seen anything [G]like the boy
with the moon [Em]and [A]star bef[D]ore
And people would ride [G]from far and wide
[D]just to [G]seek [A]the word [D]he spread
I'll [Em]tell you [G]everything I've learned
And love [A]is all, he said
[D]

La la la la
