Bad Side Of The Moon
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as UK B-Side in 1970 (Also available on the LIVE! album 11-17-70)

INTRO:
D		  C		   G          [4x]
Ousemala    ousemala   ousemala  ________

D   F/D  C/D

VERSE:
   D			F#+
It seems as though I've lived my life
       Bm	       Am
On the bad side of the moon
   G		      F
To stir your dregs in sickness still
    Em      C      D
Without the rustic spoon

Common people live with me
Where the light has never shone
And the hermits flock like hummingbirds
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
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

F/D  C/D

THEN INTRO AGAIN





VERSE: (Same as first VERSE)

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

ENDING:

(Play Intro - Repeat and Fade)
