Capo 2

          G                 C                D         Em    C     G
There's a house somewhere I know where's the fire's burn all night long 
          G                    C             D          Em      D       C
There's a swing outside on the porch where I feel I could rock away the dusk until the dawn 
    Am                          G
And even though the wind may be howlin' 
Am                        C              D
Stars are bright and they push me on and on 


Chorus: 
          C         G             D             Em 
There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies 
          C         G         D                 G 
There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide 
        C          G        D              Em   
And the stars they guide my way across the night 
          C         G      D                  G               D
There's a half moon rising, pushin' me on to another mountain top 
D           G                 D
Push me on, no I'll never stop, push me on home 
          C         G             D                     G C D Em 
There's a half moon rising in the south eastern skies tonight 


Now the shoes on my feet, those soles broken down and my coat is tattered and worn 
And the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head will vanish 'ere my first glimpse of home 
And even though the rain may now be fallin' 
The passion is deep and pushes me on 

Chorus

There's a still at dawn like the sound of your loves breath as she lies sleeping 
Down below me now in the valley is the only piece on earth that I ever want to know 
And her lips are as soft as I remember 
She alone has brought me back on home 

Chorus
