Note to moderators:
The only other chart for this song on Ultimate Guitar, while fairly solid, is charted 1/2 step lower
than the recording and includes a chord error on the 3rd line of each verse. Additionally, it does not
include instrumental breaks and totally omits the modulation up 1 step at the end. Since I worked out the
missing bits, I saw no reason not to share them.

C Am
Well I don't know who you are
C Am
And I don't care where you've been
Dm
Please just take this deadbeat soul
G
. Let him keep the hearts he stole
C Am
And all those little lies
C Am
They told ya in disguise
Dm
They got you through those lonely hours
G
. Made you think the world was ours
F
I'm the man who shot the moon and cried

Let those thieves and bastards all collide

Take these words and burn them if you don't mind

Oh sweetheart these nights were made for me
C
Still so far from where I long to be

There's a holy roller sign
C Am
And a chance she won't be mine
Dm
Ah, there's no teenage dreams to fill
G
. Break my heart I know you will
C Am
And we'll tumble down the street
C Am
Sleep alone in my back seat
Dm
Oh all that jealous talk we made
G
. Strung out in the soul parade

I'm the man who shot the moon and cried

Let those thieves and bastards all collide

(My chord charts are intended to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They are not
tabs, which notate precisely how a song was played on a recording.)
