Bad Side Of The Moon

It seems as though I've lived my life
On the bad side of the moon
To stir your dregs in sickness still
Without the rustic spoon


D             D7/F#
Common people live with me
          Bm              Am7
Where the light has never shone
         G                 F
And the hermits flock like hummingbirds
   Em         C       D
To speak in a foreign tongue

[CHORUS]
C                 G
I'm a light world away
         F                 G
From the people who make me stay
D              F        C     D
Sitting on the bad side of the moon

[Repeat CHORUS]

D               C               G              D
ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ah ha
D               C               G              D
ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ah ha


There ain't no need for watchdogs here
To justify our ways
We live our life in manacles
The main cause of our stay

Exiled here from other worlds
My sentence comes too soon
Why should I be made to pay
On the bad side of the moon

[CHORUS x2]

D               C               G              D
ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ah ha
D               C               G              D
ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ah ha

D               C               G              D
ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ah ha
D               C               G              D
ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ooh se ma la    ah ha

[REPEAT Ending and rock out]
