(Basic Riff)
He said I must be dreaming
But I thought I heard the sound
The sound that lovers make
As they drop down from the window
Quiet as cats, across the courtyard
Moving from shadow to shadow
Past the guards to the forest
So quiet in her still reflection
Drawing them down to the lake, to the center
Of her attention
(End of Riff-basic chord sequence)
G D C
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
G D C
Steal the moon tonight
G D C G D C G D C
I just never had the strength
G D C
And on the westbank a boat is being pulled across the sand
As they move so softly
G D
They slip into water
C
As they don't break the moon's reflection
G D
And drift like a cloud
C
To the center
G D
Beneath the moon's attention
C G D
Still drawing
C
Still drawing
G D C
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
G D C
Steal the moon tonight
G D
I want to drown in your moondream
C
I've seen you rising from shore to shore
G D
I want to drown in your moondream
C
I've seen you rising
G D C
Steal the moon tonight
G D C
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee
G D C
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee
G D C
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee
G D C (and repeat and fade)
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 JAMES 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.
