Catfish Moon
By Christy Moore, March 11, 2018


C
If I were a catfish
F C
In a pond down at the bottom
AM f
And you were standing on the edge
DM G
Of the water feeling thoughtsome
F C
If you whispered to the full moon
E F
I wish somebody loved me
C Am
Just like that, I’d start loving you
G7 C
Warm heart and all above me

Chorus
C
Oooooh, oooooh, oooooh
F C
The owl sings with the loon
C
Oooooh oooooh oooooh
G C
Underneath the catfish moon

C
I bet a wave of peace
F C
Would wash all over you
Am F
In your chest a knot would ease
Dm G
The sky’d be a bluer blue
F C
With the bullfrogs sounding like a choir
E F
And lighting bugs everywhere
C Am
You’d look at the water and wonder
G C
"Do catfish lived down there?"

Chorus X2

C
So if you see a ripple
F C
One night standing by a lake
Am F
Think of all the people
Dm G
Who love you more than cake
F C
Look at the moon and make a wish
E F
I bet you it’ll come true
C Am
And if you see a catfish
G C
Remember I love you

Chorus X3
