Venus Kissed The Moon Tab by Christine Lavin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Venus Kissed the Moon - Christine Lavin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tidedragon Email: Tidedragon@yahoo.com 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.
