VERSE 1
5 -4 5 -4 5
Night was might-y dark
-4 5 -4 5 4 -3b
So you could hard-ly see
-3b -3 4 5 4 -3b 5
For the moon re-fused to shine
5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 4 -3b
Cou-ple sit-ting un-der-neath the wil-low tree
5 -4 5 -4
For love, they pine
-5 5 -5 5 -5 5 -5 5 -5 -4
Lit-tle maid was most a-fraid of dark-ness
-3b -3 4 3 4 5 6
So she said “I guess I’ll go.”
-4 5 -5 -4 5 -4 5 -5 -4 5
Boy be-gan to sigh, looked up at the sky
5 -4 5 5 -5 5 -5 -4 6
Told the moon his lit-tle tale of woe
CHORUS
5 -5 5
Oh shine on
-5 5 4 -3b -2b
Shine on har-vest moon
2 -2b 5 -4
Up in the sky
5 -4 5 -4 6 5
I ain’t had no lov-in’
-4 4 -3b 3 -3b 4 -3b 3 -3b 4 4
Since A-pril Jan-u-a-ry, June or Ju-ly
-5 5 -5 5 4 -3b -2b 2 -2b 5 -4
Snow time ain’t no time to stay out-doors and spoon
-4 5 -4
So shine on
4 -4 6 5 4 3 -3b 3 -3b 4
Shine on har-vest moon for me and my gal
5 4
Oh gal
VERSE 2
I can’t see why the boy should sigh,
When by his side is the girl he loves so true
All he has to say is,
‘Won’t you be my bride?’
For I love you
Why should I be telling you this secret
When I know that you can guess?
Harvest moon will smile
Shine on all the while,
If the little girl should answer ‘Yes’
Was this a good
