The Boy With A Moon And Star On His Head by Cat Stevens **This is a simpler version of the song which is easier to strum and sing** **along to, without all the fast picking riffs** *For those who want the picking version, I think it's listed under "Tabs"* VERSE 1:

A ^Dgardener's daughter ^G/Dstopped me on my ^Dway on the ^Gday I ^Awas to ^Dwed, "I^Emt is you w^Gho I wish to shar^Eme my ^Abody with&q^Duot;, she said, "We^D'll find a dry pl^G/Dace under ^Dthe sky wit^Gh a fl^Aower f^Dor a bed, And for my j^Emoy I will g^Give you a boy with a ^Emmoon and ^Astar^Em...^A...^Em...^A...on his h^Dead."

VERSE 2:

Her s^Dilver hair f^G/Dlowed in the ^Dair, laying w^Gaves a^Across the ^F#msuh-^Emhuh-^Dhun, Her ^Emhands were like the ^Gwhite sands, and her ^Emeyes had d^Aia-monds ^Don, We l^Deft the road and ^G/Dheaded ^Dup to the ^Gtop of the W^Ahisper W^Dood, And we ^Emwalked till we ^Gcame to where the ^Emholy mag-^A7nolia ^Dstood. Th^Dere we lay ^G/Dcool in the s^Dhade singing ^Gsongs and ^Amaking ^F#mlove-^Bm--, ^Em ^A With the ^Emnaked earth ben^Geath us and the ^Emuniv^A7erse ab^Dove.

The t^Dime was late my w^G/Dedding wouldn't ^Dwait, I was ^Bmsad, but I ^Ahad to ^Dgo, So w^Emhile she was a^Gsleep I kissed her ^Emcheek for ^A7cheer-^Dio, The w^Dedding took place and ^G/Dpeople ^Dcame from ^Gmany m^Ailes a-^Dround^A ^D ^B ^E ^A ^D ^EmThere was plenty m^Gerriment, ^Emcider and ^Awine ab^Dound, But, ^Dout of all that^G/D I re^Dcall, I rem^Gembered the g^Airl I ^Dmet, 'Cause ^Emshe had given me s^Gomething that my ^Emheart could ^Anot forg^Det.
