Intro:
Am
- E7 - :||
It
was a midnight, Mississippi bike ride
on
the Cinco de Mayo.
I
was taking it all in stride,
that
pale light shining down on me.
Dm
Am / Dm E7 / Dm Am / E7 Am
It
was a moonlight piñata
shining
down on me,
a
moonlight piñata,
oh,
glory be!
F
Am / E7 Am :||
I
needed no companion beside me.
I
wanted one even less,
no
one else there to corrupt this moment,
just
greedy to be personally blessed..
...by
a moonlight piñata
shining
just for me,
a
moonlight piñata,
oh,
glory be!
A
raccoon scampered alongside me,
staring
me down with those bandit eyes.
We
were stealing the night away together.
I
looked back with my own bandit eyes...
...at
that moonlight piñata
in
the open there for me,
a
moonlight piñata,
oh,
glory be!
Interlude:
Am
E7 Dm Am / F Dm E7 Am
Like
papier-mâché
that orb hung above me.
I felt like it was right within
my reach.
like if I swung a branch and made
solid contact
little candies of light would
rain on down...
...from
that moonlight piñata,
just
raining down on me.
It
was a moonlight piñata,
oh,
glory be!
It
was a moonlight piñata
shining
down on me,
a
moonlight piñata,
oh,
glory be!
