Heaven's holding a half moon

Shining just for us

Let's slip off to to sand dune,

And kick up a little dust

Come on, cactus is our friend

He'll point out the way

Come on, till the evening

'Til the evening

Verse 3

(ends) You don't have to answer

There's no need to speak

I'll be your belly dancer,

pran cer And you can be my sheik

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

When a song moves through a lot of chords, the strumming hand has to stay steady through every switch. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and the timing that make changes easier. Smooth out your strumming

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
