INTRO G C D G
VERSE 1 G C D G (No Backup Vocals)Through the left-hand window the silent moon appears each night
Smaller, later, finally, fainter, gone.
The third night of darkness its thin crescent appears,
Smaller, later, finally, fainter, gone.
CHORUS A C G
On the sine-wave of love and suicide--
On the highway of silent sound we'll ride.
VERSE 2 G C D G
Every night I forget my name, speak a language I never knew.
Smaller, later, finally, fainter, gone.
I want to steal a car, drive madly west, drive on through,
Smaller, later, finally, fainter, gone.
CHORUS REPEAT 2X
MANDOLIN LEAD G C D G 4X
VERSE 3 G C D G
Sierra Madre, to the Pacific, the moon is already there--
Smaller, later, finally, fainter, gone.
Name her Hunter, don’t think much of her, I feel that horn in my brain.
Smaller, later, finally, fainter, gone.
CHORUS REPEAT 2x
OUTRO-MANDOLIN OUT
