MOONLIGHTING - Ardijah
[Verse]
C
He sees her at the same time every night
G
At the mexican discotheque
C
She gives him french kisses, He gives her french cigarettes
C
They sit at the same table every time, The lights are low but their eyes shine
G
Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands
She keeps him outta fights, holds onto his hand
F G C F
He whispers slowly "Tonight's the night", months of planning so it's gotta be
right
G
Under the table her bag is busting at the seams
C F
She made sure to bring everything
[Chorus]
C
Moonlighting, They're leaving everything
G
Moonlighting, Theyre losing all their friends
C
Moonlighting, It's the only way,
G F
it's frightening But it means they'll stay together ,
C G
They're gonna make it together
[Solo break]

[Verse]
C G
His blue morris van is parked in an alley, just by Montague Street
C
His friend Eddie, he did the re-spray, so he couldn't drive it all last week
G
And it cost most of the money that he had saved up to pay Eddie's receipt
But he figures it's worth it 'cause the disguise is a must
C
When they go missing, they're gonna look for the van first
F G C F
She whispers slowly, "It'll be alright I took some cash from my building society
G
And my monthly check came in just right"
C F
If only they knew they weren't giving it away
[Chorus]
C
Moonlighting, They're leaving everything
G
Moonlighting, Theyre losing all their friends
C
Moonlighting, It's the only way,
G F
it's frightening But it means they'll stay together ,
C G
They're gonna make it together

[Verse]
D
Nine-fifteen Monday morning at the printing works
A
The boss notices someone's not clocked in
And the water department of the council offices has a message
D
That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing
D
Meanwhile the Carlisle turnoff of the M6 Motorway
Drinking cold black coffee, eating hot cupcakes
A
She stares at him with his beard unshaved
Wonders at his powers of staying awake
G A
He whispers slowly, "You did just fine"
D G
They shared the driving all through the night
A
She laughs, "My mother will have lost her mind
D
We're only ten miles to Gretna
G
They're three hundred behind
[Chorus]
D
Moonlighting, They're leaving everything
A
Moonlighting, Theyre losing all their friends
D
Moonlighting, It's the only way,
A G
it's frightening But it means they'll stay together,
D A
They're gonna make it together
[Chorus]
D
Moonlighting, They're leaving everything
A
Moonlighting, Theyre losing all their friends
D
Moonlighting, It's the only way,
A G
it's frightening But it means they'll stay together,
D A
They're gonna make it together
