The Moon Or Guinness chords by
Andrew Matheson

N/A
Verse 1
C

I wish it was Christmas.

I wish it was spring.

I wish I had sixpence.

Or the moon on a string.

But you know, it's a pound for a pint.

Dark night overhead.

If I can't have the moon,
G
C

I'll have Guinness in stead.
G
C

But we're all in the gutter
F
C

We're June bugs in jars

Yeah, but some of us sunshine
F

Still stare at the stars
G
C

Wish our ten million tears
F
C

The moon must have shed
F

If we can't have the moon
G
C

We'll have Guinness instead

So we'll drink them all up, boys
G
F
C

We'll drink them all down

And if I'm not mistaken
F
G

I think it's your round
C

If tomorrow's a rumor,
F
C

that ro mance is dead!
F

If we can't have the moon,
G
C
F
G
C

we'll have Guinness instead!

It's sweet as a mistress's
F
C

tender caress.

It's smoother than stroking
F

a red velvet dress.
G
C

It turns fighters to poets,
F
C

and po ets to bands.
F

If we can't have the moon,
G
C

we'll have Guinness instead

You'll watch in amazement,
F

its rubbles all shrink
C

You'll sing to the rafter,
F
G

or pray to the sea
C

And though mortally wounded,
F
C

no dream will be dead
F

If we can't have the moon,
G

we'll have Guinness instead
C

So we'll drink them all up, boys,
F
C

we'll drink them all down

Till we're dancing the one -legged
F
G

waltz round the town
C

Till tomorrow's a rumor
F
C

that ro mance is dead
Bb

If we can't have the moon,
F
G

F
G
C
F

we'll have Guinness in stead
C

If I can't have your heart,
F

then a promise will do
C

If I can't have a promise,
F
G

then a whisper or two
C

But I won't be kept danglin'
F

here by a thread
C
F

If I can't have the moon,
G

I'll have Guinness instead
C

So we'll drink them all up, boys,
F
C

we'll drink them all down

And if I'm not mistaken,
F
G

I think it's your round
C

Tomorrow's a rumor,
F

that romance is dead

If we can't have the moon

If we can't have the moon

If we can't have the moon

We'll have Guinness instead

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
