Verse 1
(F major) (F minor) (F major) (C major) (A minor) (A major) (D major) (G major) (C major) The
(Bdim) night (A minor) was mighty dark
and you could hardly see
Cause the moon refused to (D major) shine (E major)
And (A minor) there's a couple sittin'
near the willow tree
Oh, (D major) for long, how they hanged. (G major)
The (F major) little maid,
she was kind of (C major) afraid of the dark.
So she said, I think I'll go. (F major)
The (D major) boy began to sigh, (A major)
looked (D major) up at the (A minor) sky,
And (D major) told the moon his little tale of (G major) woe,
(A flatdim) woe
(G major) Shine, (A major) shine on home sweet (D major)
Up (A minor) in the sky (D major)
I (G major) (Baug) ain't (G major) had me no lovin' since Janu (C major) ary,
(F major) February, (C major) June and July
It's a (A major) slow time, ain't no time
to stay (D major) outdoors and snooze
So shine (G major) on, shine on all this moon (C major)
for (F major) me and my gal (C major) (G major)
(A minor) But you know things didn't work out
for the boy and his sweetheart
She left him for somebody else
(E major) And the boy went to the big city (A minor)
Started drowning his
troubles in the whiskey
Oh Lord, (D major) and the big city went mad (G major) (Baug) St. (G major) Louis,
(C minor) mama (G major) (Baug)
(C minor) Where's all your diamond ring (D major) s? (G major)
Oh, you drags men around
(D minor) just (G major) like they was (Baug) on the street (C minor)
Well, if it weren't for paint and (G major) powder
an (C minor) d all that store -bought hell (G major) (D major) (G major)
Good Lord, these St. Louis women, (D minor)
(G major) they would not (Baug) be no wham, (C minor)
wham, (D major) wham, (G major)
I got the (C major) St. Louie (A minor) blues,
(C major) I'm just as (A minor) blue as I can be (C major) (A minor) (C major)
Yeah, that wo (F major) man's got a heart
like a rock cast into the sea (C major) (G major) (C major)
Oh, (F major) (G major) why did my sweetheart go
(F major) so far away from me? (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) I (B minor) (A minor) can't see why a boy should sigh
when by his side is the girl he loves (D major) so true. (E major)
All (A minor) he has to (E major) say is, (A minor)
won't you be my bride?
For now (D major) his sweetheart loves him too. (G major)
Why (F major) should I be tellin' you the (C major) secret
When I'm sure that (D major) you can (C major) guess? (F major)
The (D major) harvest moon will smile, (A minor)
shine (D major) on all the while
The (A minor) (D major) sweetheart yes,
she answers yes, (G major) yes (A flat major)
Shin (A major) ing on, shining on
all those moon (D major) s up (A minor) in the sky. (D major)
I (G major) ain't had me no lovin' since Janu (C major) ary,
(A major) (F major) February, (D major) (C major) January.
But it's (A major) no good time, ain't no time
to stay (D major) outdoors at (A minor) this point (D major)
So shine (G major) on, shine on,
shine on harvest moon (C major)
for (F major) me and my gal (C major) you
