The [Am] night was mighty [E7] dark so you could [Am] hardly [F] see,
For the [Am] moon refused to [E7] shine.
[Am] Couple sitting [E7] underneath a [Am] willow [F] tree,
For [Am] love they did [E7] pine,
[F] Little maid was kinda 'fraid of [C] darkness,
So she [F] said, "I guess I'll [E] go."
[F] Boy began to [C] sigh, [F] looked up at the [C] sky,
[D7] Told the moon his little tale of [G] woe [G7] Oh,
[A7] Shine on, shine on harvest [D7] moon
[D7] Up in the sky [G7] I ain't had no loving
since [C] January [Dm7] February, June or Ju-[C]ly
[A7] Snow time ain't no time
to [D7] stay outdoors and spoon
So [G7] Shine on shine on harvest [C] moon
for [F7] me and my [C] gal.
I [Am] can't see why a [E7] boy should sigh when [Am] by his [F] side
Is the [Am] girl he loves so [E7] true.
[Am] All he has to [E7] say is, "Won't you [Am] be my [F] bride,
For [Am] I love [E7] you.
[F] Why should I be telling you this [C] secret when I [F] know
That you can [E] guess?"
[F] Harvest Moon will [C] smile, [F] shine on all the [C] while,
[D7] If the little girl should answer, [G] "Yes." [G7] Oh,
[A7] Shine on, shine on harvest [D7] moon
[D7] Up in the sky [G7] I ain't had no loving
since [C] January [Dm7] February, June or Ju-[C]ly
[A7] Snow time ain't no time
to [D7] stay outdoors and spoon
So [G7] Shine on shine on harvest [C] moon
for [F7] me and my [C] gal.
