Pat Metheny Searching for The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress

On the album "Across the Missouri Sky", Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden do a nice version of the tune "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" by Jimmy Webb. Finding this online has been really difficult; does anyone have the music or tablature for this?
Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to the chords don't know if this the Metheny version but perhaps you can work it out from here:

Thanks for this; I was hoping to find sheet music or the melody along with it, but I can work it out from here. Found some nice recordings of it on Itunes with vocals that give a real flavor of the song.

This doesn't answer your request but I liked the performance and thought I'd share it.

Wow, that is nice. Great vocals here, not folky like most of the versions that I've found on youtube or in Itunes.

I found this arrangement in PowerTab. I have not vetted it out so I can't speak to its accuracy, but it claims to be in the style recorded by Pat Metheny and Charlie Hayden. I did listen to their version of it on YouTube; an interesting thing they do is to modulate from the opening key of D, down to Db, down to C. This seems to be reflected in the PowerTab version.
