	        G                       D 
The moon beamed down so lightly, 
                     G 
on distant fields of clover. 
                 D 
The gypsy cowboy wanders, 
                          G      
because he knows it's over. 
                    D 
And everything's so quiet. 
                          G 
The town is down in slumber. 
                D                               G 
His cowboy lady mutters, let's roll another number. 
Am         D 
Oh, oh so sad 
Am                             D 
The trouble that's in this old world, 
               G 
it makes me so sad. 
Am        D 
Oh, oh so sad, 
     G 
Mama cried. 
                      D 
And o'er the field of clover, 
                  G 
an angel band was singing. 
                      D                                       G 
With maidens throwing roses, and heaven's lights were screaming 
                    D                                 G 
Calling through the darkness, the voice of one man's brother 
                D                               G 
Spouting discontentment, of one way or the other. 
Am        D 
Oh, oh so sad 
Am                          D 
You build it up you tear it down 
                   G 
Oh it makes me so sad 
Am         D 
Oh, oh so sad 
       G 
Mama cried
