# #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# HALF MOON CAFE (Emily Saliers) ------------------------------ [Actually in Bb; capo 1.] [It might be easier to play this with the high E tuned down to D; then play A/C# as x42222 and E as 022102.] D A/C# Bm7 E-F#m-G#m [intro; play four times] D A/C# Bm7 E-F#m-G#m At the Half Moon Cafe, we drank to our lives D A/C# Bm7 E-F#m-G#m Like pseudo-believers in love
We've been through our Dholes in the A/C#walls and the dBm7ives Bm7 G(9) G(9) Bm E Where you drink to recall what you once had a vision of
And we C#dimtalk of our lC#dimives in a prC#dimison C#dim Though we Bmboth know it's Bm/Abetter to bBm/G#e E ASafe within A/Gour indecDision Bm7 A A E E-F#m-G#m Than taking the risk to be free
And you were to be a great poet And I'd find my fame in song But we somehow saw failure more closely Than fame all along And now you manage a hamburger stand And I haven't found steady work yet And we meet here to talk and pretend That we know no regret
But how much is Dsus9chance, how Emuch would you decAide' AHow much is Dsus9murder of our Dsus9dreams Gmaj9 How Gmaj9much is suiBmcide'Bm E E
So you ask of my latest Top 40 And I ask of your latest great fiction As I step outside I see that the moon is full I have to laugh at the contradiction Well, at least we can laugh at our dreams Though it's really much more bitter than sweet Sometimes through all of this fragmentation I imagine what it feels to be complete But how much is chance, how much would you decide' How much is murder of our dreams How much is suicide' [Repeat intro chords with humming; end on x02200-x02220.] TAB: D A/C# Bm7 E F#m G#m E ------------|------------|------------|------------| B ------3-----|------5-----|------3-----|------------| G ----2-------|----2-----0-|----2-----0-|1---2---4---| D --4-------4-|--2-----2---|--0-----0---|------------| A 5-------5---|4-----------|2-----------|------------| E ------------|------------|------------|0---2---4---| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
