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
