Verse 1:
  G
I opened up my eyes to see
 F/G          E/G             G        F/G  E/G   G
A land of sunny rocks and funny trees
G
Guess I'm on the Moon again
 F/G            E/G              G      F/G  E/G   G
A heavy earth exchange a lighter breeze
G
Got no coat and got no money
 F/G            E/G                   G    F/G  E/G   G
A pair of tennis shoes to last through May
G
A crater for an outdoor pool
 F/G              E/G              G       F/G  E/G   G
A few good cats to help me pass the day

Chorus (w/o the hammer-on bass notes):
G                   F/G        E/G
Havin' a good time,     here today  (times awake)
G                       F/G     E/G
Watching the sun shine,     matinee  (slip in to the shade)
C
Never the wrong time, time we stay
G                    F/G         E/G    G     F/G  E/G  G
Living the moontime,     time we play

Verse 2:
From here I watch the world go by
Working in the moon-time bar and grill
The word from Earth - my time is up
But here upon the Moon the time stands still
Got no telecommunications
Cables haven't got out this way
The Man on the Moon is a musician
And thats the way we pass the lunar day

(Chorus)
Livin' the moontime, time to live it up!  -> G G G  G G
