I went to Lyrics World and looked for Moondance, but no luck.

Anyone know where I can find chords and lyrics?

I could've sworn I got that title corrected before I posted it. How did it end up as a cow song, after all?

Anyway, it is Moondance I'm looking for.

[Is Moodance something done by Mad Cows?]

The On-Line Guitar Archive (OLGA) is a good source for chords of popular (pop, rock etc.) songs. In some cases you get more of a song than in others. They recently altered the way things were done to avoid problems related to copyright, but are still worth a look.

Moondance (Van Morrison)

----------------------------------------------
Transcribed by Guitar Player Extraordinaire, Tim Stoll (of Lockport, New York)
----------------------------------------------

Notes:

*I've included the E79 chord in the chord list below, although after careful listening I believe that the E7 directly above it is the actual chord used. Both are theoretically correct -whichever you prefer doesn't make a hell of a difference.
*The two chords Am and Dm7 in the middle of the chord list are used in the chorus only (as noted).
*There is no guitar actually played during the first two lines of the verse in the recording by Van Morrison, or subsequently when it comes around again. If you want to play the chords though, use the same progression as the following two lines. (Listen to the song.)

Chords:

…….......E-A-D-G-B-E
…….......---------------
Am……...
Bm/sus4…0-0-4-4-3-0
Am7…….
Bm7…….
Dm7…….
E7……...
E79……..x-7-6-7-8-x
Am……...used in chorus
Dm7…...used in chorus
G76……..3-5-3-4-5-3
F76……..1-3-1-2-3-1
Em……...0-2-2-0-0-0
Dm......played at ending
Am7.... (final) chord

INTRO:

Am---Bm/sus4---Am7---Bm7 (two times)
-------------------------------------------

Verse 1:

Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance with the stars up a-bove in your eyes
a fantabulous night to make romance 'neath the color of October skies

-------Am----------Bm/sus4--Am7--Bm7
All the leaves on the trees are --falling to the

Am----------Bm/sus4----Am7----Bm7
sounds of the breezes that blow

--------Am-----Bm/sus4----Am7-Bm7
and i'm trying to place to the calling of your

Am------------Bm/sus4-----Am7
heartstrings that play soft and low

--------------Dm7--Am7
You know the night's magic seems to

Dm7--------Am7
Whisper and hush …you know the

Dm7---Am7--------------------Dm7
So---ft moonlight seems to shine

------------- E7
In your blush

Chorus:

Am--Dm7--Am--Dm7
you........my love

----Am--Dm7-------Am-----Dm7
can I just make some more ro-mance with

Am--Dm7--Am-E7
you.........my love

Verse 2:

Well I want to make love to you tonight,
I can't wait til the morning has come
and I know now the time is just right
and straight into my arms you will run.
When you come my heart will be waiting
to make sure that you're never alone
there and then all my dreams will come true, dear,
there and then I will make you my own.

And everytime I touch you, you just
tremble inside.
Then I know how much you want me, that
you can't hide

Chorus:

Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?

Solos...

(Repeat Verse 1)

Verse 3:..(partial verse)

One more moondance with you
In the moonlight
on a magic night
la la la la la la
in the moonlight…
on a magic night

Ending

----Am7---G76-------F76----------Em--------Dm(Dm at open fret) Can I... just have... one more... moondance with you…

-----------Am7 My love
