Here's one I haven't heard in a while. Pretty easy to play with average chords
please dont get confused with the C in front of the word Moon as its part of the lyrics
and not an actual chord.
All the chords and changes are listed above the lyrics.

Enjoy.

C Moon Paul McCartney

Bobby lived with Patty but they never told her daddy
What their love was all about
She could tell her lover that he thought but
But she never was the type to let it out
What's it all about

C Moon, C Moon, oh C Moon are we
I said C Moon, C Moon, C Moon are we

How come no one older than me
Ever seems to understand the things I want to do
It will be L7 and I'll never get to heaven
If I filled my head with glue
What's it all to you

C Moon, C Moon, C Moon is she
C Moon, C Moon, C Moon to me

Bobby lived with Patty but they never told her daddy
What their love was all about
She could tell her lover that he thought but
She never wanted to let it out
What's it all about

C Moon, C Moon, oh C Moon are we
I said C Moon, C Moon, C Moon are we

Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!

Nice job Rodders! This is one I haven't heard for ages either - although at the time it was released (about '73?) it got a lot more play than Hi Hi Hi, which was banned by dear old Auntie Beeb....it was supposed to have been a double-A side. I don't think even Mary Whitehouse could have taken offence at the lyrics!

I like the fingering for the G/Bminor chord - not come across that before...

:D :D :D

Thanks Vic,

the only other Gm/B chord fingering I know is X2533X and thats a bit of a stretch

I think the listed chord works quite well.

Good one Rodders,

Tricky strum pattern but I think I got it licked after I remembered how the song went. The G/B and Gm/B chords are interesting too. Nice sound.

Re Em/B -

you could play a Gm like so....

E A D G B E
3 5 5 3 3 3

then bring your thumb round to the bottom E string like so....

E A D G B E
5 5 5 3 3 3
t r p 1 1 1

:D :D :D

Oh I drink Vic, just not very often and when I do It seems to have a strange effect , its as though the Earths gravity suddenly becomes a lot stronger and I have troube staying upright. Is that normal or is it just me? :D
