MOON SHINES OVER TRUBBLE
Transcribed by Oliver Watkins (ofwat1@student.monash.edu.au or watkinsa@melbpc.org.au)
OK - tabbing out the hammond organ part isn't going to be easy. Just
remember to play the organ chords abrubtly (stachato - whatever). Like
a Madness song.
I have no idea what the best fingering would be. Mine seem to get
tangled up playing this. I just had to include the bass, or the
song doesn't work.

Bm Bm/D
Moon shines hard over trubble
Bm/G#
Check you watch by the late city shuttle
Bm/G F#/open
...she tries hard not to decide
Bm Bm/D
Are you going to tell 'em where you go nightly
Bm/G#
when you're dressed so brightly
Bm/G F#/open
...is the morning going to come up without a fight
B/open
A hundred halls and bottles
B/open/Bb
you thought you'd avoid big trubble (??)
A/open E C#7 D7
Just waiting for something to arrive
B/open
All your daydream heroes
B/open/Bb
Are losing their hair deep (?) and halos
A/open E C#7 D7
Who are you going to fall into tonight
(fill-1)
(fill-2)
Bm Bm/D
Pay the bills for uncle Ted he's a nutter
Bm/G#
lives on bananas and peanut butter
Bm/G F#/open
...Keeps his teeth in a glass of long island tea
Bm Bm/D
Are you going to tell 'em where you go nightly
Bm/G#
Now that the kids are tucked in tightly
Bm/G F#/open
....Is the city big enough for you to hide
B/open
A hundred halls and bottles
B/open/Bb
You thought you'd avoid big trouble
A/open E C#7 D7
Waiting for the way out to arrive
B/open
All your daydream heroes
B/open/Bb
are losing their hair deep (?) and halos
A/open E C#7 D7
who are you going to fall into tonight....

(Figuring out the lyrics was the hardest part)
(alternately the lyrics to the chorus could be "a hundred whores and
brothels" which means I completely mis-interpreted the song!!)
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 YOU AM I 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.
