Song: The Marquee and the Moon
Band: Sloan
Album: Between the Bridges, track 10, Murderecords, 1999

Standard tuning (EADGBe)

Thanks to tablature by Adam Bishop, I can alr4ady play Losing California and Take Good Care of the Poor Boy, and since this song is between the two, I figured I'd learn it. I dooubt this is entirely correct, mostly in the chord department. I can hardly hear any actual guitar in the song other than that continuous high note throughout the entire song. This sounds good, but i think the D chord is probably a slight variation of D, like a Dm or something. Also, I'm not sure if the chords are open or barred, so play whatever sounds best to you.

approx. chords:
A: x02220 or 577655
B: x24442
D: xx0323 or x57775
E: 022100
F#: 244322
G: 3x0033 or 355433

Intro: piano rolls in, begin playing D chord

Verse 1:
D
Cabaret license

I haven't been by since it goes against all that I've learned
       G                          D
But it seems that the tables have turned
    D
But could we have stopped it, we all get co-opted

To some kind of system it seems
         G                E                     D
But they can't take away, can't take away all our dreams



Chorus 1:
         G                   D
Like the one where I'm in a balloon
G                     E                      D
Floating above, I can see the Marquee and the Moon
    B           A           G
The monkey, the dog and neptune



Verse 2:
        D
They're all in good spirits

I'm happy to hear it but haven't the sweetest idea
      G              D
To me buzz is onomatopeia



Chorus 2:
     G                      D
Will something be happening soon?
   G                       E                         D
To settle the difference between the Marquee and the moon
        B           A                 G
They're passing the torch, knife and spoon



Bridge:
D         E                       F#
And so it goes, I guess there are those
                G   A   D        E       F#   G  A
Who want to get out like me
D          E              F#
Their clientele can go to hell
                    G  A  D
If they want to get in for free
    G                         D
But hell ain't a bad place to be
   G                    E                    D
Am I any different than either the Moon or Marquee?
B         A         G    A
Not a lot if you ask me



Verse 3 (outro):
D
Cabaret license

I haven't been by since the action continued past two
       G                 E                  D          B   A   G
Before this what did we, what did we used to do?
