Del Amitri – Surface Of The Moon (Guitar)

E                                                      
    Snow in a soulless city

B - A                                                      
       Covers up the tracks in the road

B         C#m7                                                
    As a       wastrel buys her cigarettes

B        Amaj7                                                 
    And       wipes her pretty nose

B           E                          B                      
    Like a      part-time Elvis imi -     tator

       A                                                
These    streets I knew so well

B              C#m7                        B                     
    Have been       pasted beyond recog -     nition

        Amaj7                                               
With a      temporary smell

B            G#m                                             
    Now the      midnight train eases out

          B               Amaj7 /                              
Leaving     everyone ma -        rooned

     C#m7                                                  
And       without her

    A                                                   
It     might as well be the

                C#m7        Amaj7                                
surface of the        moon 

             E                                          
So from the     well-swept streets of Jackson Heights

B           A                                              
    To the     dockside drudgery

B - C#m7                                                      
          Everything is now a replica

B        A                                                  
    Of     what it used to be

B                   E                                      
    But since they     tarted up the trenches

B        A                                                 
    And     painted the bridges blue

B             C#m7                                            
    It see -        ms less like a home to me

B                Amaj7                                         
    Than just a       place they bury you

B               G#m                                          
     Now we're      lit up like a cathedral

        B                  Amaj7 /                             
In our     frozen concrete         room 

B         C#m7                                                
     And       without her

   A                                                   
It     might as well be the 

                C#m7       A -                                 
surface of the       moon 

E           F#m                 G#m                              
     So I       need her and I      love her

         C#m        C#m                                       
That is       true 

         F#m                       G#m                         
But I'm      stuck here like some       shipwreck

            C#m                                           
Instead of      holding on to you

           A                                            
When they     beat out the tramps

     A                                                  
And     patch up the slums

B                        C#m7                                 
     Everything will be       fine

               G#m                G#7                         
There'll be a      new façade for      us 

              C#m7        Amaj7                                  
to hide be -        hind 

           E                                            
So on the     ancient trails of our coupling

B            A                                             
     In the     places we used to meet

B             C#m7                                           
     I am a -       mazed by the lack of memories

B            A                                             
     That I     thought would flood through me

B             E                                            
     And the     riverside where we first kissed 

B         A                                                
     has     now been reduced

B          C#m7                                               
     To a       phony old world market 

B                A                                         
     where only     shoppers get seduced

B              G#m                                           
     Now your       arms embrace me strangely 

         B            Amaj7 /                                  
in your    unfamiliar         room

      B       C#m7 /                                           
And      for         all I care 

     Amaj7 /                                                  
it           might as well be the 

Amaj7                  C#m7                                       
       surface of the       moon Yeah for

C#m7 /                                                     
       all I care 

     Amaj7                                                   
it        might as well be the
