Mad Man Moon – Genesis
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Tony Banks
From: "A Trick of the Tail" (1976)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
This is a chord sheet for people like me, who like singing this song and
accompany themselves with an acoustic guitar. The instrumental part in
the middle of the song does not make much sense in a performance like
that, so I left it out.

[Intro]

| Am | D | Bm | C | Emadd9 |
[Verse]
Em/D Was it summer when the D/Criver ran dry,
B7sus4 A/B B7 | Eadd9 E |
Or was it just another dam.
Em9/D When the Em/Devil of a D/Csnowflake in June
Could G/Bstill be a Bmsource of reCadd9lief.
[Bridge]
Em9O how I Emlove you, I once Em7cried long Em6ago,
But Em9I was the Emone who deEm7cided to Em6go.
Am9 To search beDm7yond the final Fdim7crest,
Em7 Bm | Cadd9 | Cadd9 D |
Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high.
[Verse]
Em/D So I pretended to have D/Cwings for my arms
B7sus4 A/B B7 | Eadd9 E |
And took off in the air.
Em9/D I flew to Em/Dplaces which the D/Cclouds never see,
Too G/Bclose to the Bmdeserts of Cadd9sand,
[Bridge]
Where a Em9thousand miEmrages, the Em7shepherds of Em6lies
Em9Forced me to Emland and Em7take a disEm6guise.
I would Am9welcome a horse's Dm7kick to send me Fdim7back
Em7 Bm | Cadd9 | Cadd9 D |
If I could find a horse not made of sand.
[Chorus]
E If this desert's all there'll F#mever be
F#m7-5 F C
Then tell me what becomes of me.
D/C A fall of Bb/Crain?
F That Fdim7must have been aBbnother of your Fdreams,
Am/E F Bmadd11/A Bm7/E | Amaj7/E E9 | E | Amaj7/D E9/D | E/D |
A dream of mad man moon.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Middle 8] mostly in 7/8 time
Db Gb/DbHey man,
Db I'm the Cb/Dbsand Gb/Dbman.
And Dbboy have I Gb/Dbnews for you;
Db Cb/Db They're Gb/Dbgonna Dbthrow you in Gbm/Dbgaol
And you Dbknow they can't Cb/Dbfail
'cause Dbsand is Gbm/Dbthicker than blDbood. Cb/Db
But a Eprison in A/Esand
Is a Ehaven in B/Ehell,
A/EFor a Egaol can A/Egive you a Egoal
| 2/4 | 7/8
[And a] A/Egoal B/Ecan Dbfind Ebyou a Frole
On a Bb/Fmuddy C/Fpitch in FNewcastBb/Fle,
C/FWhere it FrainsBb/F so much
You C/Fcan't Fwait for a Bb/Ftouch C/Fof
| 2/4 | 4/4
D/F#Sun E/G#and sand, sun and Eb7sus4sand ...
[Verse]
Em/D Within the valley of D/Cshadowless death
B7sus4 A/B B7 | Eadd9 E |
They pray for thunderclouds and rain,
Em9/DBut to the Em/Dmultitude who D/Cstand in the rain
G/BHeaven is Bmwhere the sun Cadd9shines.
[Bridge]
The Em9grass will be Emgreener till the Em7stems turn to Em6brown
And Em9thoughts will fly Emhigher till the Em7earth brings them Em6down.
Am9 Forever caughDm7t in desert Fdim7lands
Em7 Bm | Cadd9 | Cadd9 D |
One has to learn to disbelieve the sea.
[Chorus]
E If this desert's all there'll F#mever be
F#m7-5 F C
Then tell me what becomes of me.
D/C A fall of Bb/Crain?
F That Fdim7must have been aBbnother of your Fdreams,
Am/E F Bmadd11/A Bm7/E | Amaj7/E E9 | E | Amaj7/D E9/D | E/D |
