The Fall - Before The Moon Falls chords
Start Jamming...
We are private detectives on the back for our musical pilgrimage.
We work under the name of LePaul.
[Bbm] [E] You would [Eb] suspect this is just too obvious.
Our offices are secluded.
Those there to suspect would not see the wood for their trees.
We were six like dice but we're back to five.
Up here in the north there's no waste package jobs for us, thank Christ.
While young married couples discuss the promises of their [Bb] self-built [Eb] traps
and the junior clergy demand more [Ab] cash,
we spit [Eb] in their plates and wait for them ice to melt.
[Bb] [Eb]
I must create a new regime,
or live by another [D] man.
[Eb]
Before the moon falls,
before the moon falls,
[Bb] [Eb] I must create a [Bb] new scheme,
[Eb] get out of others' [B] hands.
[Bbm] [Eb]
Before the moon falls,
before the moon falls,
[B] [Eb]
[B] [Bb] I [Eb] could use some pure criminals
and get my hands on some [Bb] royalties.
[Eb]
Before the moon falls,
before the moon falls,
a
[B] [F] [Eb]
[Fm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bm] [Bb] [Eb] problem of this new [Bb] scheme
[Eb] is answering obscene phone calls.
Before the moon falls,
before the moon falls,
[Ab] First off, I'm tripping around,
chilling, ugly, ugly,
ignorant, a weakling of love,
coward, a liar,
I must not miss music,
I'm [Eb] lighting swords and fallen [F] floors.
[E] [Eb]
I use the power,
[B] I use the power,
[Bb]
[Bb]
[Eb]
and I will forever
end this reign of [Bb] terror.
[Eb] Before the moon falls,
before the moon falls,
before the moon falls,
before the moon falls,
before the tide topside,
before the moon falls,
before the tide topside,
before the moon falls,
before the moon falls,
before the power moves on,
before the power moves on.
