The Moon Struck One

Julie and little John Tyler lived in the house next door
D7              G7      D7     E7            Eb7
We would be the great triangle and to this we swore
D7            Eb7        Bb     D/A         G
Julie was my sweetheart, little John was my cohort
C  / Bb           /A          /G     F
And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart
Gb                                     Bb Eb | Bb Eb
Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun
Gb                                            Bb Eb | Bb Eb
And promised to return before the moon struck one

G7                                      D7                           G7
Julie came running through the pasture, she was screaming at the sky
D7             G7    D7     E7           Eb7
She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly
  D7             Eb7            Bb   D/A     G
Little John was stung by a snake over by the lake
 C / Bb          /A              /G          F
And it looked like he's really, really hurt, he was lying in the dirt
Gb                                  Bb Eb | Bb Eb
Ooh, we went it as fast as we could run
 Gb                                       Bb Eb | Bb Eb
But we lost little John as the moon struck one

G7                        D7                     G7
I was vacant, Julie was a bird with a broken wing
D7             G7     D7     E7          Eb7
We were always afraid of what tomorrow might bring
D7            Eb7            Bb    D/A     G
We'll drive down to Durango--up and leave this place
 C / Bb        /A             /G         F
And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace
 Gb                                   Bb Eb | Bb Eb
The car broke down when we had just begun
 Gb                                                  Bb Eb | Bb Eb (x7)
And we walked back to the house while the moon struck one
