MOON SHINES OVER TRUBBLE

Transcribed by Oliver Watkins (ofwat1@student.monash.edu.au or watkinsa@melbpc.org.au)

OK - tabbing out the hammond organ part isn't going to be easy. Just

remember to play the organ chords abrubtly (stachato - whatever). Like

a Madness song.

I have no idea what the best fingering would be. Mine seem to get

tangled up playing this. I just had to include the bass, or the

song doesn't work.

(Alternately you can just play Bm, and get your friend to play the

bass part)

Bm Bm/D

Moon shines hard over trubble

Bm/G#

Check you watch by the late city shuttle

Bm/G F#/open

...she tries hard not to decide

Bm Bm/D

Are you going to tell 'em where you go nightly

Bm/G#

when you're dressed so brightly

Bm/G F#/open

...is the morning going to come up without a fight

B/open

A hundred halls and bottles

B/open/Bb

you thought you'd avoid big trubble (??)

A/open E C#7 D7

Just waiting for something to arrive

B/open

All your daydream heroes

B/open/Bb

Are losing their hair deep (?) and halos

A/open E C#7 D7

Who are you going to fall into tonight

(fill-1)

(fill-2)

Bm Bm/D

Pay the bills for uncle Ted he's a nutter

Bm/G#

lives on bananas and peanut butter

Bm/G F#/open

...Keeps his teeth in a glass of long island tea

Bm Bm/D

Are you going to tell 'em where you go nightly

Bm/G#

Now that the kids are tucked in tightly

Bm/G F#/open

....Is the city big enough for you to hide

B/open

A hundred halls and bottles

B/open/Bb

You thought you'd avoid big trouble

A/open E C#7 D7

Waiting for the way out to arrive

B/open

All your daydream heroes

B/open/Bb

are losing their hair deep (?) and halos

A/open E C#7 D7

who are you going to fall into tonight....

(fill - 1)

(fill - 2)

(Figuring out the lyrics was the hardest part)

(alternately the lyrics to the chorus could be "a hundred whores and

brothels" which means I completely mis-interpreted the song!!)
