Tuning: standard
I don't even remeber if that is the title. But it's a pensive, pretty song,
and one of the first I ever figured out, so here it is.
Christine fingerpicks like a dream, mine is a gross estimation, and muddier
than I've transcribed here.
Intro: x2

Christine fingerpicks the entire song in her chords, so just go for it.
The words are a little off from memory.
The C and F pattern is four measures long,
evey other chord is only one measure
EXCEPT the Dm and G at the end of the bridge
The lines at the end are sung with two voices
[C] Venus kissed the moon tonight [F]way up in the sky
She's been[C] chasing him for centuries [F]too bad he's so shy___
He's [Em]waxing, He's [Am]waning,
[Dm] You won't see [G]Venus complaining
[C] She'll steal a kiss whenever she can
Not 'til [F] twenty-thirtyone(?) will this happen again [C][F]
[C] I see you in the taxi cab and [F]touch your hands and face
I say [C] "I feel like a satelite, [F]way too long in space___"
[Em]You roll down the [Am]window
[Dm] to gain a clearer [G]view
[C] You're looking up at the heavens
[F]I'm looking up at you___ [C][F]
[Em]Twenty-thrity[Am]one you say
That's an [Em]eternity, so [Am]far away, not to me
[Em]Time and distance [Am] make no difference in these
[Dm] Celestial a[G]ffairs____
[Em] Won't you hold me [Am]close tonight
[Em] Your eyes are [Am]shining bright___
[Dm]Like the luminescent streetlight lights those
[G]lovers way up there
[C] Venus kissed the moon tonight It's ok[F] It was a leap year
Then she [C] kept right on traveling [F]centrifical force, my dear___
He's [Em]waxing, He's [Am]waning,
[Dm] You won't see [G]Venus complaining
[C] She'll steal a kiss whenever she can
[F] This will happen again, this will happen a[C]gain
Venus kissed the moon
(Venus kissed the [F]moon tongiht____)
This will happen a[C]gain
Venus kissed the moon
(Venus kissed the [F]moon tongiht____)
This will happen a[C]gain
Venus kissed the moon
(Venus kissed the [F]moon tongiht____)
This will happen a[C]gain
