Moondance (Van Morrison)

The song is different in every version,
but rotates round the following riff.

D |-(5)7-7-9---7-7-9---7-7-9-7-9-10-9-7-9-----|
A |----------7-------7--------------------7---|
E |-------------------------------------------|
"well, it's a marvellous night for a moondance....."
and some variations....

D |-7-9-10----/-7---10----/-7------9-/-7-5-----/----------|

CHORUS

A ||.-----0-0-3---7----------.||-----0-0-3---7--------|
E ||--0-3---------------------||-0-3------------------|
"can I just have...."
try playing G ----------9-8-7-|| instead the second time thru
during SOLO (very variable, here's one I use sometimes)
G |--------7-9-10-7-------------14-12----12---|
D |-7-9-10----------10-7-9-10-7-------14------|
A |-------------------------------------------|
E |-------------------------------------------|
G |-14-12----------------------------------|
D |-------14-12-10-9-7---7-9-10-7----------|
A |--------------------7----------10-9-8---|
E |----------------------------------------| leads into BRIDGE
STOP PRESS:::: a version was transcribed in BASSIST April 2000,
but using different fingering and something very odd in the BRIDGE
section. I haven't tried it out yet, but will probably stick to
what I know works.

| The only time the word 'fantabulous' has been used and meant so much. He should own the rights to that word. Simply. Beautiful. | |

| If Van used it, it must be a real word. This song is one of my all time favourites. I can't stand artists who stay in one genre and never waver from it. Those are the ones who fizzle out after losing steam. I'm always a fan' o' Van. | |
