Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (C major) Mello, the moonlight
to shine is beginning
Close (G major) by the window young
Eileen is spinning
Bent (C major) o 'er the fire,
blind (F major) grandmother (C major) sitting
(G major) Is crooning and mourning and
drowsily knit (C major) ting
I lean, a -currin',
I hear someone tappin'
Tis the (G major) ivy, mother, against the glass
flappin'
Ily, (C major) I surely hear some (F major) body (C major) sighin'
(G major) Tis the song, mother dear,
of the autumn wind (C major) s dyin' (G major) (C major)
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly we ring,
(G major) Swings the wheel,
spins the wheel, while the
foot stirring,
(C major) Sprightly and brightly and (F major) airily ringing,
(C major) Thrill (G major) s the sweet voice of the
young maiden singing. (C major)
There's a farm at the casement,
the farm of her true love,
And he whis (G major) pers with face bent,
I'm waiting for you, love.
Get (C major) up on the stool,
through the (F major) lattice step (C major) lightly,
We'll (G major) rove in the grove while the
moon's shining brightly
(C major) The maid shakes her head and
her lip lays her fingers
Steals (G major) up from the seat,
longs to go and yet lingers
A frightene (C major) d glance turns
(F major) on her drowsy grandmother
(C major) Puts (G major) one foot on the stool,
spins the wheel with (C major) the other (G major)
(C major) Lazily, easily,
swings now the wheel round,
(G major) Slowly and lowly is heard now
the real sound,
(C major) Noiseless and light to (F major) the lattice above (C major) her,
(G major) The maid creeps, then leaps to the arms of
her (C major) lover.
Slower and slower and slower
the wheel swings,
(G major) Lower and lower and lower the reel rings,
Ere (C major) the reel and the wheel stopped
(F major) their ringing and (C major) moving
Through the (G major) grove the young lovers
by moonlight are (C major) roving.
you
