At first I thought this was going to be easy but the more I got into
it the more I found harder and harder. But I managed it, I think.

By the way I think she's brilliant.And this is a lovely song.

SHOOT THE MOON
NORAH JONES

C   G/B  Am  C  F  C  F  G
  330020
C           G/B     Am        C
The summer days are gone too soon
 F            C     F         G
You shoot the moon, miss completely
 C             G/B      Am       C
And now you've left to face the gloom,
    F       C         F            G
The empty room, that once smelled sweetly

 Am        Em           F          C
Of all the flowers you plucked if finally
    G      C      G   Am       Em     F
you knew the reason.  Why you had to each
   C               G     C    G
be lonely.  Was it just the season.

C          G/B       Am   C    F
Now the fall is here again you can't
 F               G
begin to give in, it's all over.

C           G/B       Am      C
When the snows come rolling through
       F        C    F            G
you've rolling too with some new lover.

 Am      Em    F               C
Will you think of times you've told me
         G         C    G  Am    Em
that you knew the reason why we had to
 F    C      G   C       G       C     G
each be lonely.  Was it just the season.


If anybody can improve on this please be my guest.

Cheers

I agree, dont just assume that all girls are bad musicians.

Alright... Whoever made the first comment about being deaf and playing like a girl... Just one thing. Watch it bud, because I am a girl and have been playing for 6 years. I have 2 bands, and I AM GOOD. You can chew out whoever submitted the tabs, and I won't care, but if you start stereotyping girls like that, then it makes people angry. So please, don't do it again.

Now the whole thing:

I'd rather stick to this tuning e=c, b=c, cause it creates this
ringing sound, when the two c-strings are struck.

A

c------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0--
c------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0--
g----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0
d-10-------9-------7-------5-------3-------2-------3-------5------
a-----------------------------------------------------------------
e-----------------------------------------------------------------

To fatten the sound
(or to fill up the gap, when there's no bass and piano player)
you can also play the descending line doubled like:

c------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0--
c------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0--
g----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0
d-10-------9-------7-------5-------3-------2-------3-------5------
a-----------------------------------------------------------------
e--8-------7-------5-------3-------1-------0-------1-------3------

This is my Interpretation of the second Part:
You can also try holding the a (2nd fret g-string) for four bars,
I'm not sure bout that

B

c------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0--------0-------0---
c------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0--------0-------0---
g----2---2---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0----0---0---0---0-
d-------------------------------------------------------------------
a--0-------------------------------3----------------3---------------
e----------3-------2-------1---------------0----------------3-------

Why not use this as finishing chord:

c-0-
c-0-
g-0-
d-2-
a-3-
e--- ?

If you want the major third (e) on top you can also play it like this

c-4-
c-0-
g-0-
d-2-
a-3-
e---

I think this is a better intro...

E----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|-
B----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|-
G-----0------0---|-----0--5--5---|-----0--5--0---|--0--0--5--0---|-
D--10----10------|--9------------|--7------------|---------------|-
A----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|-
E----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|-

E----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|-
B----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|-
G------0--5--0---|-----0--5--0---|------0--5--0--|-----0--4--0---|-
D---3------------|--2------------|--3------------|---------------|-
A----------------|---------------|---------------|--2------------|-
E----------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|-

By listening to the recording i came to the conclusion that the b5- and e6- Strings could both be tuned to c! that makes it very easy to play the song with one one finger of the left hand moving down from c to e on the d3-string:

6=C-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--
5=C-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--
4=G---0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
3=D-10----9---7---5---3---2---3---5----
2=A------------------------------------
1=E------------------------------------
and so on. probablyit's just an overdub, but like this u can do it with one guitar (look ma, no overdubs!)
after the intro you play the rootnotes on the E1 andA2-strings for fat sound
Have Fun
