The Moon Is a Magnet Tabs & Lyrics by Jon Foreman
The Moon Is a Magnet
guitar tabs lyrics
This is an awesome song off of Jon Foreman's EP, Fall. I saw a tab for it but there was
lot of mistakes so I figured I'd give it a try. This is my first tab, so sorry if it
Either way let me know what you think.

Chorus
This part your just gonna have to play with. the picking pattern is pretty weird but
get it in time if you play along with the song. the chords are:
1st "What are we if we're not in love."
e]----x-----x------x------x------|
B]----3-----3------3------3------|
G]----0-----0------2------2------|
D]----0-----2------0------0------|
A]----2-----0------x------0------|
E]----3-----x------x------2------|
2nd "What are we if we're not in love."
e]----x-----x------x------x------|
B]----3-----3------3------4------|
G]----0-----0------2------x------|
D]----0-----2------0------4------|
A]----2-----0------x------2------|
E]----3-----x------x------x------|

you the chords and what it should loosely look like)
