A7 Gm7 A7(V) A7 DM7 D6 There was a moon out in space, A7/6 E7/9 A7/6 D But a cloud drifted o - ver its face; Em7 Gm7 Gdim D Bm7 You kissed me and went on your way A7 Gdim D The night we called it a day. A7 Gm7 A7(V) A7 DM7 D6 I heard the song of the spheres A7/6 E7/9 A7/6 D Like a mi - nor la - ment in my ears; Em7 Gm7 Gdim D Bm7 I hadn't the heart left to pray A7 Gdim D The night we called it a day. Bridge: G A7 D Gm7 Gdim A7 D Soft through the dark, the hoot of an owl in the sky; Gdim F#7 Bm Bm7 E Gm7 A7 Sad though his song, no bluer was he than I. A7 Gm7 A7(V) A7 DM7 D6 The moon went down, stars were gone, A7/6 E7/9 A7/6 D But the sun did - n't rise with the dawn; Em7 Gm7 Gdim There wasn't a thing left to say A7-9 A A7 Gm7 A7 D6 The night we called it a day.
