More chords by Charles Mingus
Eclipse by Mingus sung by Janet Thurlow from Mingus Moves. (There is another
version of this piece outthere)
I always play the chords as descending arpeggios imae pattern and mix it up
with bass nova style
P/ima plucking motions. This versions needs the bass line and melodic fills
added to it. As with many Jazz
arrangements, I have done my own version of the chord extensions for what
sounds goods to me. Try your own.
[Intro]
E6 C#-9 E6 C#-9
Eclipse, when the moon meets the sun,
D#7b5 G#7
Eclipse,
Amaj7 B13
these bodies become as one.
[Verse]
D#7b5 C#7
People go around,
F#-9 B7
Eyes look up and frown,
G#7 B7 Ama7 G#9
For it’s a sight they seldom see.
D#dim7 Emaj7
Some look through smoked glasses
D#dim7 C#-9
Hiding their eyes,
G#7 G#7#5 Amaj7
Other think it’s tragic,
D#7b5 F#-9 B7b9
Sneering as dark meets light.
B13 Emaj7 G#7
But the sun doesn’t care
Amaj7 G#7/B
And the moon has no fear
Amaj7/C# B7#5 B7b9
For destiny’s making her choice.
[Outro]
E6 C#-9 E6 C#-9
Eclipse, the moon has met the sun.
D#7b5 G#7 Amaj7 B7b9
Eclipse, two loves are joined as one
