And then pursue, and then pursue the morning

I'll chase the moon 'till it be noon, I'll chase the moon 'till it be noon

I'll climb the frosty mountain, I'll climb the frosty mountain

And there I'll coin the weather;
Am D (G) C G C D B
I'll tear the rainbow from the sky, I'll tear the rainbow from the sky,
(G C) Em Em/B B Em (D Em)
And tie, and tie both ends together.

The stars pluck from their orbs, too, the stars pluck from their orbs, too,

Let all, let all the nations judge it.
