I'll walk (G)just be-(Bm)yond the (C)moon then I'll (D)stop and wait for (G)you (C) (G)

(Spoken)
(G) My mother and my father were in love (C)for 50 years
So when dad died (D)we wondered why my mother shed no tears
(G)We asked her once about it but she wouldn't tell us why
Instead she'd walk outside each night and (C)smile up at the sky
Then just before she (G)left us she (Bm)called us to her (C)sidec
She told us what my (D)father said to her just before he (G)died

I re-(G)member when you said you'd never (C)leave me
Through these (D)golden years I've kept the same vow, (G)too
But now that I am goin' please don't (C)leave me (C#dim)
I'll walk (G)just be-(Bm)yond the (C)moon then I'll (D)stop and wait for (G)you (C) | (G)

(Chorus 1)
You can (D)look up every night and you'll (G)see me light the light
Where I'll (A)watch for you to join me someday (D)soon
We'll go (G)lookin' through the stars for the (C)heaven that is (C#dim)ours
And I (G)know we'll (Bm)find it (C)soon somewhere (D)just beyond the (G)moon (C) | (G)

(Bridge)
I'll walk (G)just be-(Bm)yond the (C)moon then I'll (D)stop and wait for (G)you (C) | (G)

(Chorus 2)
I'll just (D)sit there by a star and I'll (G)watch you from afar
Till I (A)see you walking toward me someday (D)soon
Then to-(G)gether hand in hand we'll (C)find our promised (C#dim)land
And we'll (G)settle (Bm)down for-(C)ever darlin' (D)just beyond the (G)moon

(Tag)
I'll walk (G)just be-(Bm)yond the (C)moon then I'll (D)stop and wait for (G)you (C) | (G) (D) (G) -----
