                     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



[C] Venus kissed the moon tonight [F]way up in the sky
She's been[C] chasing him for centuries [F]too bad he's so shy___
He's [Em]waxing, He's [Am]waning, 
[Dm] You won't see [G]Venus complaining
[C] She'll steal a kiss whenever she can
Not 'til [F] twenty-thirtyone(?) will this happen again  [C][F]


[C] I see you in the taxi cab and [F]touch your hands and face
