Rope Ladder To The Moon by Jack Bruce
Rope Ladder To The Moon
Em6
E6/9
You asked me to a party
Em7
To a house just by the moon
E6/9
You gave me silver loving
Em7 Em6
The end was much too soon
E6/9
You asked me to the theater
Em7
In a place quite near the sun
E6/9
You gave me golden sunbeams
Em7
Your act was all in fun
Em E Am Em
Ro-pe ladder
Em E Am Em
Ro-pe ladder
Em E6
Ro-pe ladder to the moon
E6/9
You asked me to a meeting
Em7
In a cottage in the snow
E6/9
You gave me central heating
Em7
I can't forget the glow
Em6/9 Em6 Dm6 Bm7 C#m7
You asked me to a weekend
Em8 Em6 Dm6 Am7 Bm7
Down by the stormy sea
Em6/9 Em6
You took me to a ceremony
Dm6 G7 Am7 Bm7 C#7 D#7 C#7 B7 Em
And the sacrifice was me, me
E6/9
You asked me to a storm cloud
Em7
Up near the rainbow's end
E6/9
Then you threw away the ladder
Em7
And gave me to your friend
E6/9
You took me to a prison
Em7
And you said it's chief was me
E6/9
Then you locked me deep inside you
Em7
And threw away the key
Em E Am Em
Ro-pe ladder
Em E Am Em
Ro- pe ladder
Em E Am Edim Em C Em6/9
Ro- pe lad-der to the moon
Em6/9 Em6 Dm6 Gm7 Am7 Bm7 E6
