[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][Ebdim][Em][G][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
There's a [G]house somewhere I
[C]know where's the [D]fire's [Em]burning all [D]night [G]long
There's a swing outside on the
[C]porch where I [D]feel like [Em]I'll
Rock [D]away [C]the dusk until the dawn
[G]And eve[Am]n though the wind
[D]may [G]be howlin'
The [Am]stars are bright and they
[C]push me on and [D]on

[Verse 2]
There's [C]a half m[G]oon risin' i[D]n
the south eastern [Em]skies
[G]There's [C]a cold w[G]ind blowing
[D]across the great di[G]vide
And the [C]stars [G]they guide my
[D]way across the[Em] night
[G]There's [C]a half m[G]oon r[D]ising
It's pushin' me on to [G]an
other mountain [D]top
Push me on, no [G]no I'll never stop,
[D]push me on home
There's [G]a h[C]alf moon r[G]ising i[D]n
the south eastern skies tonight
[G]

[Interlude 1]

[C][D][Em][G][C][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Now [G]the shoes on my feet,
those [C]soles broken [D]down
And [Em]my coat is t[D]attered and wo[G]rn
And the hunger in my belly,
and the [C]fever in my [D]head
[Em]Will vanish [D]'ere my
[C]first glimpse of home
[G]And [Am]even though the rain
may [D]now be [G]fallin'
The [Am]pas sion is deep and
[C]pushes me on
[D]

[Verse 4]
There's [C]a half m[G]oon risin' i[D]n
the south eastern [Em]skies
[G]There's [C]a cold w[G]ind blow
[D]ing across the great di[G]vide
And [C]the stars [G]they guide [D]my
way across the [Em]night
There's [C]a half m[G]oon r[D]ising
It's pushin' me on to an
[G]other mountain [D]top
Push me on, no [G]no I'll never stop,
[D]push me on home
There's [G]a h[C]alf moon r[G]ising in the
[D]south eastern skies [G]to night

[Verse 5]
There's a [G]still at dawn like [C]the sound of your [D]loves [Em]breath
As [D]she lies [G]sleeping
Down below me now in the valley
Is the [C]only piece on [D]earth that I
[Em]ever want [D]to k[G]now[C]
[G]And her [Am]lips are as soft
as [D]I rem[G]ember
[Am]She alone has [C]brought me
back [D]on home

[Verse 6]
There's [C]a half m[G]oon risin' i[D]n
the south [Em]eastern skies
[G]There's [C]a cold w[G]ind blowing
[D]across the great di[G]vide
And [C]the stars [G]they guide [D]my way
across the [Em]night
There's [G]a h[C]alf moon[G] risi[D]ng
It's pushin' me on to
[G]an other mountain top
[D]Push me on, no no [G]I'll never stop,
[D]push me on home
There's a [C]half moon [G]rising in [D]the south
eastern skies to[G]night
