(C)Have you ever (Cadd9)watched a (C)moonbeam, (C)(Cadd9(C)
As it (G)slid across your window(G7)pane?(G) (G7)
Or (G)struggled with a bit of (G7)rain,
Or (G)danced about the weather (G7)vane,
Or (C)sat along a (Cadd9)moving (C)train,
And wondered (Cadd9)where the (C)train has been.

Or (C7)on a fence with bits of crap,
Around its bottom,
(F)Blown there by a windbeam.
Who (D7)searches for the moonbeam,
Who was last seen

(G)Looking at the (G7)tracks
Of the (G)careless wind(G7)beam
Or (G)moving to the (G7)tracks
Of the (G)tireless freight (G7)train
And (G)lighting up the (G7)sides
Of the (G)weather vane
And the (G7)bits of rain
And the (G)windowpane
And the (G7)eyes of those
Who (G)think they saw what ha(C)ppened  (C)(Cadd9)(C)  (C)(Cadd9(C)

How to practise this song

Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
