The Moon & The Steeple by Jonas Alaska


       The Moon & The Steeple


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo

[Verse 1]
    C
The moon is still up
        Em      Am           F
And the wind is bullying the trees again
G                         C
Bullying and letting them go
          F            Em     Dm
It's been going on for hours, ooh
E                           Am
Soon they'll be shaking off snow
        Gm              F
And the barn doors will freeze again
    Am          B7sus(b9)       C6      Dm
I'm watching it all through the kitchen window
        Em
And the flowers
 
[Verse 2]
        C                    Em
I'm the only one left in the house
    Am              F
But my school ain't far away
     G                   C        F        Em      Dm
They usually spend every morning spying on people, ooh
E                             Am            Gm
Looking at friends as they're rolling their way
       F
On the stars today
    Am            B7sus(b9)
The moon is still up
        C6            Dm             Em      E7
But the sunlight will soon touch the steeple
 
[Chorus]
A                         Dm
Tracks(?) from the secret army
C6             F
This(?) coming out at night
    G
The garden looks cold and
C            Bsus(b9) F       E
Abandoned by anything living
    A                   Dm
The barn is as old as a man
   C6          F
So dead in the morning light
G                       C
Turns into something so warm and
Bb             Am      G
Unclear in the evening
 
[Verse 3]
C                     Em
Livin' here all of my life
      Am          F
These views ain't new to me
     G                   C
I've never seen anything strange
     F            Em        Dm
Only rainbows and chickens, ooh
    E                    Am
But I've seen everything change
        Gm         F
Just to be like it used to be
Am        B7sus(b9) C6
Once I saw somebody slip
        Dm      Em     G
And get up in a second
 
[Interlude] (same as verse)
C Em Am F G C F Em Dm E Am Gm F Am B7sus(b9) C6 Dm Em G
 
[Verse 4]
    C
The memories are shrinking
Em            Am        F
Changing each day like a waterfall
    G                        C
The moon and the steeple are blurry
         F           Em          Dm
And for once I'm the tired eyes, ooh
E
I knew all the people
        Am            Gm           F
All the girls and the boys playing basketball
Am         B7sus(b9)  C6       Dm         Em        E7
Did I know even back then that I lived in paradise?
 
[Chorus]
A                         Dm
Tracks(?) from the secret army
C6             F
This(?) coming out at night
    G
The garden looks cold and
C            Bsus(b9) F       E
Abandoned by anything living
    A                   Dm
The barn is as old as a man
   C6          F
So dead in the morning light
G                       C
Turns into something so warm and
Bb             Am      G
Unclear in the evening
 
[Outro]
Am B7sus(b9) C6 Dm Em
Ooo-oh, in the evening
Am B7sus(b9) C6 Dm Em
Ooo-oh, in the evening
 
Am B7sus(b9) C6 Dm Em C
