Nightgown of the Sullen Moon

(In this song, each chord is one beat; chords with a dash between them are
half a beat each)

This is a very loose transcription of the hits...listen to the record to
figure out the exact rhythm of the chords; it's pretty darn funky

nothing but air, with your hand in the air and your
shoelaces tied up together with care. There's a
feeling of boredom, of the big whoredom
following dressing up in the
nightgown of the sullen
moon, how the
windows lean into the
room, in the
nightgown of the sullen
moon
