Intro.: |(D)(A)| x 4
The (D)calico (A)moon was (D)rising that (A)night
(D)Shining like (A)gold on the water (D)(A)
(D)Me and my (A)brother, we (D)hijacked a (A)row boat
Set (D)out like Huck (A)Finn and Tom Saw-(D)your
(G)(F#m)(Em) Oars dippin' diamonds as we (A)rowed across the lake
An (D)owl sang to (C#m)who knows who (G) (G/F#)(G/E)(G/D)(G)
(Em)Lost in the wonder, (A) under the calico moon
Solo: |(D)(A)| x 2
The (D)calico (A)moon lay (D)soft on your (A)skin
It was a (D)night that I'll (A)always remember (D)(A)
Our (D)hearts filled with (A)fire, (D)holding each (A)other
(D)Love flowed as (A)wild as the river (D)
(Em) We talked of how we were (A)meant to be
And (D)how sometimes (C#m)dreams do come true (G) / / (G/D)|(D)
(Em)We were young lovers, (A) under the calico moon
Solo: |(D)(A)|(D)(A)
Now that old moon (F#m) has rolled around so many times (Em) since then
And (A)here we are still gazing at the night (D)
We're (F#m)captured in the magic of its (Em)spell again
(A) You and I ---
The (D)calico (A)moon (D)wakes in the (A)east
And (D)hangs on an (A)amber horizon (D)(A)
When (D)I see its (A)light (D)dance in your (A)eyes
It re-(D)minds me of (A)how lucky I (D)am
(Em)Where would I be if I (A)didn't have you
(D)Lord only (C#m)knows what I'd do (G)
(Em)Thank God in heaven for (A)you, --- and the calico moon
Outro.: |(D)(A)| x times to fade
