Moon I Already Know - Mount Eerie
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
A simple song with only four chords
I strum this song lightly with the meat of my thumb. I also believe Phil only downstrokes on the recording
I play these chords by fretting the D string with my pinky, the G string with my middle finger, the low E with
my ring finger and the A string with my index. Only lifting the latter two during the whole song

They have more complex names but I'm going to identify them by their root note.
I think it's easiest to learn how to play this song if you only think about where the chord with G goes,
listening to the song will help you get the rhythm

The song resolves on this chord strummed only once

[verse]
Moon, I alread
y know
I'm small on t
he ground
I roll around
and feel menac
ing mountains
And all depths of sorrow dwarf me
All towering t
errors of mine
to cower belo
w
I know, I know
I know already
So don't look
at me like tha
t
And then duck
behind clouds
I know I'm sma
ll and that I
have no idea
I know, I know, I know
Let me be dumb
again
Let food drip
off my chin
Let me think you're a light
Please, please
let me sleep
through the ni
ght
Unknowing
Let me close e
