Tuning: standard
I don't even remeber if that is the title. But it's a pensive, pretty song,
and one of the first I ever figured out, so here it is.
Christine fingerpicks like a dream, mine is a gross estimation, and muddier
than I've transcribed here.
Intro: x2
C (C/B bass) (Am7) F
e|----------0----------0-----------0-------------1--------1-------1-------1--|
B|--1-----------1----------1---------------1-1-------1--------1-------1------|
G|-----0-----------0----------0----------------2-------2--------2-------2----|
D|-------2-----------2----------2------3-2-3---------------------------------|
A|--3-----------2----------0---------------3----------------3----------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------1----------------1--------|
Christine fingerpicks the entire song in her chords, so just go for it.
The words are a little off from memory.
The C and F pattern is four measures long,
evey other chord is only one measure
EXCEPT the Dm and G at the end of the bridge
The lines at the end are sung with two voices
<intro>
<verse 1="">
Venus kissed the moon tonight way up in the sky
She's been chasing him for centuries too bad he's so shy___
He's waxing, He's waning,
You won't see Venus complaining
She'll steal a kiss whenever she can
Not 'til twenty-thirtyone(?) will this happen again
<verse 2="">
I see you in the taxi cab and touch your hands and face
I say "I feel like a satelite, way too long in space___"
You roll down the window
to gain a clearer view
You're looking up at the heavens
I'm looking up at you___
<bridge>
Twenty-thrityone you say
That's an eternity, so far away, not to me
Time and distance make no difference in these
Celestial affairs____
Won't you hold me close tonight
Your eyes are shining bright___
Like the luminescent streetlight lights those
lovers way up there
<cello solo="" over="" [c][f]x2="">
<verse 3="">
Venus kissed the moon tonight It's ok It was a leap year
Then she kept right on traveling centrifical force, my dear___
He's waxing, He's waning,
You won't see Venus complaining
She'll steal a kiss whenever she can
This will happen again, this will happen again
Venus kissed the moon
(Venus kissed the moon tongiht____)
This will happen again
Venus kissed the moon
(Venus kissed the moon tongiht____)
This will happen again
Venus kissed the moon
(Venus kissed the moon tongiht____)
This will happen again
