'Bella Luna' by Jason Mraz - Guitar Tutorial

               ______________
  / Jason Mraz / I think this is simply a beautiful, classical love song,
 / Bella Luna / possibly inspired from a moonlight walk. Almost every line
 / Mr. A-Z   / here is expressing open admiration; as such there isn't any
/_____________/ deep meaning in the lyrics, it's just the language of a lover.
 

 I've also made a Guitar Pro version of the Guitar fills & solo.       
 This is the link to it:

Mystery the moon
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full but often right
A pair of eyes a closing one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars to farthest reaches of the beach
and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

The cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellations
No riffs and oh no reservation
If they should fall you'd get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising
Oh, before we lose the lighting

Oh, bella bella, please
Bella you, beautiful luna
Oh, bella do what you do

You are an illuminating anchor
Of leads to infinite number
Crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the evenflows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Into twining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring ya is the language of a lover

Bella luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other

May I suggest you get the best of your wish
May I insist that no contest for little you or smaller I
A larger chance had but all
There may lie on the rise on the brink of our lives

Bella, please
Bella you, beautiful luna
Oh bella do what you do

Bella luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other
