Shine On Harvest Moon

Leon Redbone


Tom: Dm

Dm                     A7                 Dm                                       
The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
           F7               A7
Cause the moon refused to shine
Dm                  A7          Dm                  
Couple sittin‘ underneath the willow tree
G7         C
For love, they pine
  C                                   C7
Little maid was mightly afraid of darkness
        F7
So she said I think I’ll go                                                               
G7       
Boy began to sigh, looked up in the sky 
                                      C
And told the moon his little tale of woe
 
[Refrão]

     D7                        G7
Oh shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky
C7                             F            
I ain’t had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
  D7                       G7
Snowtime ain’t no time to stay outdoors and spoon
     C7                        F         A#       F
So shine on, shine on harvest moon, for me n’ my gal
