Practical Arrangement by Sting from The Last Ship album
For any questions mail me to email protected
Basically, this is a jazzy piano piece. This one is tough to play on the guitar, so I
tried to cover the full harmony and provide some possible voicings for you. But sorry in
advance if it too complex, it's just what it is. You can try to simplify the chords by
playing first part of it (e.g. Gmaj7/9 ?> Gmaj7, Gmaj7/b5 ? Gmaj7), but song will lose it's
charm a little bit in this case. Enjoy and good luck!
Key: B Minor, afterwards modulate to C Minor
Time: 4/4

Am I Bm9asking for the moon?
Is it rGmaj7eally so implausible? G6 Em9
That you and I could sEm9oon A A7
Come to sDmaj7ome kind of arrangement? F#7sus4 F#7
I'm not Bm9asking for the moon Gmaj7
I've always been a realist G6
When it's rEm9eally nothing more Em9 A A7
Than a sDmaj7imple rearrangement F#7sus4 F#7
With one rBmoof above our heads C7sus4 C7
A wF#marm house to return tF#o F#m7
We cEm9ould start with separate beds Em9 A A7
I could slDmaj7eep alone or lF#7sus4earn to F#7
I'm not sBmuggesting that we'd findBm soAme earthly pG#m7aradise foreEm9ver
I mean how Cmaj7often does that happen now?Bm ThFe answer's probably never F#7
But we could cGmaj7ome to an arrangement, a practical arrangement
And yC#9ou could learn to loF#7ve me given timBm9e Gm9 G7
I'm not prCm9omising the moon
I'm not prAbmaj7omising a rainbow Ab6
Just a prFm9actical solution Bb7sus4 Bb7
To a sEbmaj7olitary life G7sus4 G7
I'd be a fCm9ather to your boy
A shAbmaj7oulder you could lean on Fm9
How bad could it be Bb7sus4 Bb7 Ebmaj7
To be my wife? G7sus4 G7
With one rCmoof above our heads D7 D7
A wGmarm house to return to Gm7
You wFm7ouldn't have to cook for mBb7sus4e Bb7
You wEbmaj7ouldn't have to learn to G7sus4 G7
I'm not suggCmesting that this prCmopoBbsition hereAm7 could last foreFm9ver
I've no intDbmaj7ention of deceiving yCmou,G you're far too clG7ever
Abmaj7/b5
But we could come to an arrangement
A practical arrangement
And pD9erhaps you'd learn to love meG7 given timFm9e G7
It mAbmaj7ay not be the rCmomaBbnce that you hAm7ad in miFm9nd
But you could lD7sus4earn to love me G7
