Sister Moonshine chords by Supertramp

Chords with lyrics

Sister Moonshine by Supertramp

NOTES:  This is for the album version, not the Roger Hodgson live version, and has been arranged for one
      guitar.  Sounds best on a 12-sring. I tried to get close as possible, but towards the end of the
      song the guitar(s) start getting lost in the mix. At that point, use my tab as a reference.

RIFF 1
Ooo - when I was a small boy
                      RIFF 2
Well, I could see the magic in a day
RIFF 1
But, now I'm just a poor boy
                     RIFF 2
Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay
       RIFF 2
If you lock your dreams away
   RIFF 2
If no one wants to listen

RIFF 1
What's the story?
I wish I'd been a minstrel
                      RIFF 2
Just think of all the maidens I could call
RIFF 1
Oh - I wish I'd been a gypsy
                   RIFF 2
Then maybe I could read the crystal ball
       RIFF 2
'Cause surrounded by these walls
     RIFF 2
Just makes me feel uneasy

RIFF 1
Mmm - if I was a lion,
                     RIFF 2
Well, I could be the king of all the plain
RIFF 1
Mmm - if I was an eagle,
                    RIFF 2

Oh, fly above the pain
     RIFF 2
But, I know I'm only foolin'
