🎶 The moon rise

[Bb]Now the hour has come [D]at last
[Db]The soft and fading [Cb]light
[Bb]Has crossed the west [D]horizon
[Db]And has bidden us [Cb]goodnight
[Em]And what a lovely [Db]night it is
To [D]walk a moonlit [Bb]field
To [Em]see the softer [Db]shades
That are by [D]starlight now revealed

[Bb]So why is it that [D]now,
[Db]When all is quiet and at [Cb]rest
[Bb]When candles glow and all the [D]world
Is [Db]at its very [Cb]best
The [Em]ponies of [Db]Equestria
[D]Should lock themselves [Bb]away
To [Em]shun the moon and wait [Db]instead
For [D]Sister's sunny day?

[D]In umbra Luna est

[Bb]Am I so wrong to wish [Db]that they
[A#]Would see things like I [Em]do?
[Db]And am I so wrong to [A#]think
That [Em]they might love me [D#m]too?
Why [Bb]shouldn't they adore [Db]me?
Is it [A#]not within my [Em]right?
I'll [Db]not be [A#]overshadowed!
Mine is not [Em]the lesser [D#m]light!
I've [Db]waited long enough [A#]now
For them [Bbm]all to come [Eb]around
And though the Sun [D]may plead and [Bb]threaten,
[G#]The Moon will stand her [G#]ground

It [D#]comes to this at [A#]last:
I will [Bb]no longer yield the [G#]sky
If they [A#]cannot love
But [Bb]one princess alone [G#]
[D#]See, the [A#]Moon is [Bb]rising
[G#]She has [A#]come to claim the [Bb]heavens for her [G#]own

And [D#]all will know the [A#]wonder
Of my [Bb]dark and jeweled [G#]sky
When all [A#]the world is [Bb]wrapped
In an [G#]eternal [G#]lullaby
So [D#]say goodnight at [A#]this,
The final [Bb]setting of the [G#]sun
Tomorrow [A#]dawns in [Bb]darkness
The [G#] [A#]nighttime [G#]has [D#]begun!

[D#] [A#] [D#] [A#] [D#]⠀
