Hunter Moon - Kate Rusby


B x 4

Verse 1:
  B
Softly the morning light,
      E
Softly the dew,
B
Softly my soul will bend,
  F#
As she comes in view,
  B
At dawn she is delicate,
        E
And burning by noon,
        F#      G#m F# E
The end of the day will come soon.

Chorus:
          B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
  E    B
Are infinite bright,
    E       B
And the stars know my soul will fly,
    F#
They're holding it tight.

Verse 2:
B
There she is rising now,
  E
My heart it might break,
  B
The birds in her warmth will fly,
  F#
My soul it will ache,
    B
And the world comes alive for her,
    E
In awe at her gaze,
         F#   G#m F# E
And suddenly the sky is ablaze,

Chorus:
          B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
   E   B
Are infinite bright,
    E       B
And the stars know my soul will fly,
    F#
They're holding it tight.

Verse 3:
B
Say not her name to me,
      E
For I live in the shade,
B
Briefly I see her,
    F#
As she starts to fade,
  B
In silence we pass,
     E
Our path is well worn,
       F#      G#m F# E
In silence I wait for the dawn.

Chorus:
           B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
   E   B
Are infinite bright,
    E       B
And the stars know my soul will fly,
    F#sus4   F#
They're holding it tight.

Verse 4:
B
Calmly I drift along,
      E
Oh I will endure,
 B
I only belong to her,
  F#
Of that I am sure,
   B
Will I ever hold her,
 E
I cannot presume,
N.C.
For she's the sun,
  F#    G#m F# E
I'm only the moon.

Chorus x 2:
    E      B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
   E   B
Are infinite bright,
    E       B
And the stars know my soul will fly,
    F#
They're holding it tight.
