  Lost in a riddle that Saturday night, far away on the other side

     | E                         B
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight

      | C#m           A           B
And she couldn't find how to push through

The trees that whisper in the evening, carried away by a moonlight shadow

     | C#m                A       | B                 E         B
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving, carried away by a moonlight shadow

      | E               B            | C#m  A          B
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun, far away on the other side


     | E                 B
He was shot six times by man on the run

      | C#m           A           B
And she couldn't find how to push through

She couldn't find how to push through

| B                 E         B
  Carried away by a moonlight shadow

| E  B | C#m  A          B
