Moorestown tab by Sun Kil Moon

Sun Kil Moon
"Moorestown"
Album:  April


Time: 3/4 or 6/8
Tuning C# Ab C# Eb Ab Db
Capo: 4th fret
Sections are: Intro, Verse


A rather simple song to play. Mark plays this on the album using bass
and a capo on electric guitar for the high guitar part.  This tab
combines both parts for solo performance.  The resolving chord 000000 or
004070 can change between the verses.   The finger style on this should
be nice and easy to provide background to the singing part melody.

Verses are the same throughout the song.

Her walls are Mediterranean blue
Her baby sister picked the hue
Saltwater taffy, Jersey shore
Blue like the fingernails she wore

The house is not far from the school
Her mom taught on the Hudson
Her dad's guitar sings open tuned
Reverberates up through the floor
Our love grew more one summer there
We'd spend our days just driving round
Old parking lots and neighborhoods
All framed and charmed in Moorestown

I followed her across the Earth
Through parks in London, coasts of Perth
Newport, Kentucky and New Orleans
We shared a million lives it seems
I slept with her so many nights
We moved together heavenly
So close the North Pacific slept
You too were once beside me

She moved away to Williamsburg
Her eyes sad as a raven
My thoughts will pause, my throat will swell
When her name is spoken
And looking past the cold, long sea
I cannot bear to wonder now
If the cascading soft lights
Are glowing for us in Moorestown
Are glowing for us in Moorestown
