Venus Kissed the Moon - Christine Lavin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: standard
I don't even remeber if that is the title. But it's a pensive, pretty song,
and one of the first I ever figured out, so here it is.
Christine fingerpicks like a dream, mine is a gross estimation, and muddier
than I've transcribed here.
Intro: x2
C (C/B bass) (Am7) F
e|----------0----------0-----------0-------------1--------1-------1-------1--|
B|--1-----------1----------1---------------1-1-------1--------1-------1------|
G|-----0-----------0----------0----------------2-------2--------2-------2----|
D|-------2-----------2----------2------3-2-3---------------------------------|
A|--3-----------2----------0---------------3----------------3----------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------1----------------1--------|
Christine fingerpicks the entire song in her chords, so just go for it.
The words are a little off from memory.
The C and F pattern is four measures long,
evey other chord is only one measure
EXCEPT the Dm and G at the end of the bridge
The lines at the end are sung with two voices
