Th-e  last that e -ev-er she saw him

Carr-ied aw-ay by a moon-light sha-dow.

fight

3   -3  4     4   -3   3   -3 4    -4
And she could-n't find how to push through

Carr-ied aw-ay by a moon-light sha-dow.

5   5   6   -5  5  4  -4      -4 5 -4   
All she saw was a sil-houette of a gun

5   -4 4  4  3   -4 -4 5     -4
Far aw-ay on the o  -o -ther side.
