Title: Moon Dance

Artist: Van Morrison

Album: Moon Dance

A+ using A7 B7(+6 2nd inv.) chords.

The way he sings on the album is DO-ME-SI-ME, so the C7 chord

that is added adds the SI to sing along with. I think it

sounds better because it rings with your voice. If you're

teaching this to someone, it'll also help them sound the tune

more clearly before they sing. (for those of you who are

solfege impared, this means 1-3-7-1)A nylon string guitar and

alternating lyrics between a guy and girl make this into a

great tune. Harmony can be done over the chorus up a 3rd.

If anyone can play a flute or recorder or any wind instrument

over this, it makes for a great accompianment. Finger pick it

and let the chords ring.
