[INTRO] (RIFF 1, RIFF 2, RIFF 1, RIFF 2, RIFF 2, RIFF 2, RIFF 2)
 
RIFF 1
Ooo - when I was a small boy
                      RIFF 2
Well, I could see the magic in a day
RIFF 1
But, now I'm just a poor boy
                     RIFF 2
Well, maybe it's the price you have to pay
       RIFF 2
If you lock your dreams away
   RIFF 2
If no one wants to listen
 
RIFF 1
What's the story?
I wish I'd been a minstrel
                      RIFF 2
Just think of all the maidens I could call
RIFF 1
Oh - I wish I'd been a gypsy
                   RIFF 2
Then maybe I could read the crystal ball
       RIFF 2
'Cause surrounded by these walls
     RIFF 2
Just makes me feel uneasy
 
        Bm                               A                Amaj7
I said, hey, Sister Moonshine, Won't you send me a little sun?
        Bm                           A               Amaj7
I said, hey, Sister Moonshine, I'm a stranger to everyone
                 F#m                F
(So, make us all laugh) Make us all cry
             F#m               F
(Make us all give) Make us all try
          G
Give us a secret, show us the light
                    B                   Bsus4
We’ll strike up the music, light up the sky
 
[GUITAR SOLO] (RIFF 1, RIFF 1, RIFF 3)
 
RIFF 1
Mmm - if I was a lion,
                     RIFF 2
Well, I could be the king of all the plain
RIFF 1
Mmm - if I was an eagle,
                    RIFF 2
Well, maybe I could fly above the rain
    RIFF 2
Oh, fly above the pain
     RIFF 2
But, I know I'm only foolin'
 
        Bm                               A               Amaj7
I said, hey, Sister Moonshine, Won't you send me a little sun?
        Bm                           A               Amaj7
I said, hey, Sister Moonshine, I'm a stranger to everyone
                 F#m                F
(So, make us all laugh) Make us all cry
             F#m               F
(Make us all give) Make us all try
               G
Well give us a secret, show us the light
                    B                       Bsus4
We’ll strike up the music, and light up the sky
 
[GUITAR SOLO] (RIFF 1, RIFF 1, RIFF 3)
 
RIFF 4 (x4)
 
RIFF 5         RIFF 6
       I said, hey, Sister Moonshine
RIFF 5         RIFF 6
       I said, hey, Sister Moonshine
RIFF 5         RIFF 6
       I said, hey, Sister Moonshine
RIFF 5         RIFF 6
       I said hey, I said hey, Sister Moonshine

Great job! I think the intro hammer on from “999” to “10-9-11” needs to then pull off back to the “999” before the “12 12 12” that follows...same for the “777” etc...there’s a two finger hammer on that’s then strummed twice before a pull off and then the triplet on the high E string 3 frets higher..I also think the F’s are Fmaj7’s...nice to know that someone else cares about this song as much as I...! Cheers
