Against the moon

Where the mighty ocean roars

version 2
Capo:no capo
Basic chord progression:
| Gb | B | B | B | B | Gb | B | B | B |
(the number of measures changes a bit throughout the song, but it
remains just Gb and B)
There's only two changes, one at the "If I could close my eyes" line:
| Bbm | Ebm | B | B |
and one at the "It's as close as I get to love" line:
| Bbm Db | B | Bbm Db | B | B |
The solo looks like this:
(played over one time through the basic progression, and one time
through the first change)
s=slide h=hammer on

Bbm=Bm, Ebm=Em, and Db=D. The solo is just played one half-step down)
I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you
I have flagged a yellow cab
Hopped a rusty freight
Sang till my lips turned blue
Flown a silver bird
On the tops of the clouds
All just to get to you
I ran too hard
I played too Rough
I gave my Love
Not near Enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist
Against the moon
All just to get to you
I have run from St. Paul
To Wichita Falls
Call'd you from sunny Baton Rouge
Hocked everything
From my watch to my ring
All just to get to you
I ran too hard
I played too Rough
I gave you Love
Not near Enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist
Against the moon
All just to get to you
From the California Shore
Where the mighty ocean roars
To the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux
I walked the desert sands
Crossed the Rio Grande
All just to get to you
I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you
