Refrain:
D A7 D G A7
Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moon shadow, moonshadow---
D A7 D G A7 D
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---
Verse 1:
G D G D G D Em A7
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
G D G D Em A7 D F#m Bm Em A D
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if------------- I won't have to work no more.
Verse 2 (use same chords as Verse 1 for all verses):
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if------------- I won't have to cry no more.
Refain
Verse 3:
And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if------------- I won't have to walk no more.
Verse 4:
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if------------- I won't have to talk...
Verse 5:
E7 A E A
Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
E A E7 A
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?
Refrain
G A7 D G A7 D
moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.
Oh, by the way, the chords aren't played in basic position. For
example use a D by barring the fifth fret and using the remaining fingers in an
"A" formation. Try fooling around with alternate chord shapes at different
parts of the neck and throwing in some hammers-on to more closely resemble the
recording.
This is the introduction for Cat Stevens's "Moonshadow. If you keep at it long
enough you should be able to play this part and sing simultaneously. Good luck.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CAT STEVENS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
