Ilse DeLange - Just like the moon


Capo on 1st fret 
[C]               [F]             [G] 
I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair 

[C]                        [F]             [G] 
and I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere 

          [Am]            [F]            [C]     [G] 
While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold en blue 

         [Am]               [F]               [C]            [G] 
and the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon 

        [Am]                     [F]     [C]                 [F] 
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye 

      [C]                 [F]          [C]       [F] 
You shined so bright you blinded me and left so I couldn't see. 
  
  

Chorus: 
  

        [C]   [F]          [G] 
I was the moon chasing the sun 

          [C]           [Dm]                 [F]   [G] 
there was never a prayer of ever catching up 

        [C]  [F]           [G]        [C]  [F]           [G] 
No matter how fast I would run like the moon chasing the sun 

             [C] [F]           [G] 
Just like the moon chasing the sun 
  
  

[C]                          [F]                  [G] 
The crickets called and the moon peeked out of an eastern sky 

[C]             [F]            [G] 
They both start up about this time each night 

       [Am]                   [F]               [C]      [G] 
And an evening breeze stopped by and brought some sweet relief 

    [Am]      [F]            [C]            [G] 
in the silver light I finally let go of the heat 

       [Am]                     [F] 
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why 

[C]                        [F] 
it took so long for you to say goodbye 

    [Am]                   [F]      [C]              [F] 
you shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 1
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: F ↔ Am

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
