C 
Brown eyes and I were tired 
We had walked and we had scrambled 
Through the moors and through the briars 
Through the endless blue meanders 
Am G F 
In the blue August Moon 
Am G F 
In the cool August Moon 
 
C 
Over the nights and through the fires 
We went surging down the wires 
Through the towns and on the highways 
Through the storms in all their thundering 
Am G F 
In the blue August Moon 
Am G F 
In the cool August Moon 
 
C 
Then we rested in a desert 
Where the bones were white as teeth sir 
And we saw St. Elmo‘s fire 
Splitting ions in the Ether
