You don't have to know how to read or write

When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight.

You don't have to look in a book to find

What he thinks of the moon and what's on his mind.
Am7 D7 G Am7 D7 G
That comes naturally (that comes naturally).

That comes naturally (that comes naturally).
