[Verse]
          C
Fire and brimstone
in a locket
           F
That only comes out
at bight
             Dm
Through the buttons
of
your best shirt
             F
When you're high as
a kite
         C
And the gemstone in
the pocket
         F
Of your Levi's is
white
           Dm
But it's a new moom
that's a pulling
         F
On your puppet tonight
           C        F
Ah it's a new moon
             C       F
Yeah it's a new moon

[Verse]
        C
It's a new moon it's a
salior's dream
          F
And he's castin' his
net
You know that
 Dm
everybody
knows
            F
That every sailor's
dream is wet
          C
And the rings on
your fingers
      F
They glimmer in the
light
       Dm
Ut's a new moon with
the same dreams
          G
That you have every
night

How to play New Moon: key, chords and progression

New Moon by Jesse Welles keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 5 chords: C, F, Dm, G and Am.

Most of the song cycles through Am – F – C – G (vi – IV – I – V in C major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship. In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, C, Am, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
