Moonlight Drive
The Doors
Drop your low E down to D for this song, if you plan on playing the piano intro
on your guitar. To do this, tune down so that the seventh fret on your low E
matches the fifth string A. Robby lays a bunch of slides throughout the course
of the song, unfortunately I have no technical knowledge of using a slide.
With your low E down to D, the chords change to this structure:
G7 D7
DADGBE DADGBE
|||||| x|||||
|o---o 3rd Fret |o---o 5th Fret
|||o|| ||||||
oo|||| ||o|o|
A7 E7
DADGBE DADGBE
|||||| x|||||
|o---o 5th Fret |o---o 7th Fret
|||o|| ||||||
oo|||| ||o|o|

This is played 8 times, slide guitar comes in on the second, and vocals comes
in on the fourth.
Let's swim to the moon, uh huh.
Let's climb thru the tide.
Penetrate the evening that our
City sleeps to hide.

This is repeated 4 times over these lyrics:
Let's swim out
Tonight, love.
It's our time
To try.
G7
Parked beside the ocean
On our Moonlight Drive.
A7
Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
Let's climb thru the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side.
E7
Nothin' left open and no
Time to decide.
We've stepped into a river
On our moonlight drive.
