Tom Waits - Grapefruit Moon guitar tab

GRAPEFRUIT MOON

Cmaj7 G9 F C F C/Fsharp G9 G7

Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me

Cmaj7 G9 F C F C/Fsharp G9 G

Heard that tune, and now I'm pining, honey, can't you see?

Am G F C

'Cause every time I hear that melody -

Am G F

Something breaks inside

Cmaj7 G9 F C F C/Fsharp

the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back

C

the tide

(instr.) C C/D C/E F (repeat)

Never had no destination, could not get across

You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost

'Cause every time I hear that melody - Something breaks inside

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide

Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity

And I slip just like the stars into obscurity

'Cause every time I hear that melody - Puts me up a tree

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see

Never had no destination, could not get across

You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost

'Cause every time I hear that melody - Something breaks inside

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide

Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity

And I slip just like the stars into obscurity

'Cause every time I hear that melody - Puts me up a tree

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see

breaks inside,

Cmaj7 G9 F C F F C/Fsharp

the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back

G13 C

the tide

(piano solo) C C/D C/E F C C/D C/E F

Never had no destination, could not get across

You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost

'Cause every time I hear that melody - Something breaks inside

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide

Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity

And I slip just like the stars into obscurity

'Cause every time I hear that melody - Puts me up a tree

And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see

(have worked these chords out myself and am pretty sure they're correct)
