Reply To: Always the Moon chords (such as they are)
And for the non-guitarists, here’s a slightly edited version of Colleenky’s orginal transcription, with the chord names reflecting the actual chords, not relative to the capo.
[Intro]
Verse 1:
Gsus2
Before there ever was a you and me
Gsus2
The endless void of a dark, black sea
D C Gsus2
And a giant oyster, the mother of all things
D Dsus2 C G
And the oyster made a pearl, And the pearl became the world
D Dsus2 C G
And the world began to turn, And the sun began to burn
Am7
And one day I met you and I fell in love
C D Dsus2 D
And you broke my tender heart, And so here we are
Chorus:
C6 D C6
But there was always the moon, There was always the moon
D C6 D Gus2 D Gsus2 D
There was always the moon, There was always the moon
Verse 2:
Gsus2
Before there ever was a you and me
Gsus2
The slender branch of a gentle tree
D Dsus2 C Gsus2
And a big, red fruit that hung low to the ground
D Dsus2 C G
And you picked it out of spite, And you took a careless bite
D Dsus2 C G
And the world was not the same, And we all know who to blame
Am7
So now when you think of me, Do you think of when
C D Dsus2 D
There was still a chance, But it's over so here we are
Chorus:
C6 D C6
But there was always the moon, There was always the moon
D C6 D Gsus2 D Gsus2 D
There was always the moon, There was always the moon
Third Verse
Gsus2
Remember when there was a you and me
Gsus2
When there was such a thing as gravity
D Dsus2 C Gsus2
And the tides came in, And the tides went out again
D Dsus2 C G
But the water got too high, And the sun began to die
D Dsus2 C G
And I tried to make you stay, But the world pulled you away
Am7
And now there are darker, longer, colder nights
C D Dsus2 D
And the sun has gone for good, And so here we are
Final Chorus:
C6 D C6
But there was always the moon, There was always the moon
D C6 D Gsus2 D Gsus2 D Gsus2
There was always the moon, There was always the moon
