Polka Dots And Moonbeams

John Denver


Tom: Dm

          F           Dm7            Gm7       C7
A country dance was being held in a garden
F           Dm7             Em7          A7
I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon" 
 Dm         Bb7 F              Am7   Abm7
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
 Gm7         C7        F        D7    Gm7    C7
All around a pug-nosed dream

 F         Dm7          Gm7         C7
The music started and was I the perplexed one
F         Dm7                Em7               A7
I held my breath and said "May I have the next one?"
Dm             Bb7      F            Am7    Abm7
In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Gm7          C7          F
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream

           A       Dim2      Bm7             E7
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
A            F#m7      Bm7      E7
As we floated over the floor
            A       Dim2     Bm7                  E7
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
A     D7      Gm7        C7
And perhaps a few things more

F          Dm7             Gm7          C7
Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter
F           Dm7           Em7           A7
I know the meaning of the words "Ever after"
Dm              Bbm  F              Am7  Abm7
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
Gm7             C7          F           D7
When I kiss the pug-nosed dream
