Reply To: Always the Moon chords (such as they are)
Okay, here’s the guitar transcription. Now remember that this isn’t taking into account any thing the Uke, bass, or melody is playing, so this is purely based on what the guitar voicings are. There are a few spots with the sus2 chords that may be a little iffy, but I’m confident about the rest of it. Please let me know if you’re hearing something that I’m not or if you think something’s wrong. All chord names are relative to the capo as well.
Capo on the fifth the fret

Verse 1:
Dsus2
Before there ever was a you and me
Dsus2
The endless void of a dark, black sea
A G Dsus2
And a giant oyster, the mother of all things
A Asus2 G D
And the oyster made a pearl, And the pearl became the world
A Asus2 G D
And the world began to turn, And the sun began to burn
Em7
And one day I met you and I fell in love
G A Asus2 A
And you broke my tender heart, And so here we are

But there was always the moon, There was always the moon
A G6 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
There was always the moon, There was always the moon
Verse 2:
Dsus2
Before there ever was a you and me
Dsus2
The slender branch of a gentle tree
A Asus2 G Dsus2
And a big, red fruit that hung low to the ground
A Asus2 G D
And you picked it out of spite, And you took a careless bite
A Asus2 G D
And the world was not the same, And we all know who to blame
Em7
So now when you think of me, Do you think of when
G A Asus2 A
There was still a chance, But it's over so here we are
Chorus:
G6 A G6
But there was always the moon, There was always the moon

There was always the moon, There was always the moon
Third Verse
Dsus2
Remember when there was a you and me
Dsus2
When there was such a thing as gravity
A Asus2 G Dsus2
And the tides came in, And the tides went out again
A Asus2 G D
But the water got too high, And the sun began to die
A Asus2 G D
And I tried to make you stay, But the world pulled you away
Em7
And now there are darker, longer, colder nights
G A Asus2 A
And the sun has gone for good, And so here we are
Final Chorus:
G6 A G6
But there was always the moon, There was always the moon
A G6 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2
There was always the moon, There was always the moon
