[Verse 1]
Eb Abm Db Gb
Fate has been cruel and order unkind
Ebm Ab Db
How can I have sent you away?
Bbm B Db Ebm
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
Bb Abm Bb
The harmony's silent today
Eb B Db Gb
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
Ebm Ab Db
And I will your company keep
Bbm B Db Ebm
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Bb Abm Bb
Have carried you softly to sleep
(bass drop, pound out a dark powerful Ebm chord )
(progression #1)
[Verse 2]
B Gb
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Db Ebm
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
B Gb Db Ebm
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
B Bbm Ebm
So lovely and so well beloved as I"
(progression #2)
Ebm Bb Abm Db
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
Gb Abm Bb
That long was the shadow she cast
Eb Abm Bbm Ebm
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
Abm Adim Bm Ebm
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
[Chorus]
(progression #3)
Ebm Abm Ebm
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
B Ebm
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Abm Ebm/Gb Bb/F Ebm
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Abm Adim Bb
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
(progression #4)
Abm Ebm/Gb Db Gb
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
Bb Ebm
And carry my sorrow in kind
B Ebm/Bb Adim Bb
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Ab Bb Ebm
Forgive me for being so blind
[Verse 3]
(progression #1)
B Gb
Soon did that pony take notice that others
Db Ebm
Did not give her sister her due
B Gb Db Ebm
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
B Bb Ebm
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew
progression #2)
Ebm Bb Abm Db
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Gb Abm Bb
Takes hold of the mind of its host
Eb Abm Bb Ebm
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
Abm Adim Bb Ebm
The destruction of one who had needed her most
[Chorus]
(Progression #3)
Ebm Abm Ebm
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
B Ebm
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Abm Ebm/Gb Bb/F Ebm
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Abm Adim Bb
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
(progression #4v2)
Abm Ebm/Gb Db Gb
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
Bb Ebm
And carry my sorrow in kind
B Ebm//Bb Adim Bb
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
Abm Bb B Abm
May troubles be far from your mind
Abm Bb Ebm
And forgive me for being so blind

The years now before us

Fearful and unknown

I never imagined

I'd face them on my own
(#5)

May these thousand winters

Swiftly pass, I pray

All these miles away

[Outro]
Eb Abm add2 Abm Db Gb
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Ebm Ab B Bbm
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
Eb (Abm add2) Abm Db Gb
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
Ebm Ab B Bbm
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
B Ab B Ab B Ab Db Bb
Sleep...
