-7 -7 7* -7 7* -7
The night was might-y dark
7* -7 7* -7 -6 -5
So you could hard-ly see
-5 6 -6 -7 -6 -5 -7
For the moon re-fused to shine
-7 7* -7 7* -7 7* -7
Cou-ple sit-ting un-der-neath
7* -7 -6 -5
a wil-low tree
-7 7 -7 7
For love they pine
-7* -7 -7* -7 -7* -7 -7* -7 -7* 7
Lit-tle maid was kind a-fraid of dark-ness
-5 6 -6 5 -6 -7 8
So she said “I guess I’ll go.”
7 -7 -8 7 -7 7 -7 -8 7 -7
Boy be-gan to sigh, looked up at the sky
-7 7* -7 -7* -8 -7* -8 7 8
Told the moon his lit-tle tale of woe
CHORUS
-7 -7* -7 -7* -7 -6* -5 -4
Oh shine on, shine on har-vest moon
-3*-4 -7 7
Up in the sky
-7 7 -7 7 8 -7
I ain’t had no lov-in’
7 -6 -5 5 -5 -6 -5 5 -5
Since Jan-u-ar-y, Feb-ru-ar-y
-6 -5 5 -6
June or Ju-ly
-7* -7 -7* -7 -6* -5 -4
Snow time ain’t no time to stay
-3* -4 -7 7
out-doors and spoon
7 -7 7
So shine on
-7 7 8 -7 -6 5 -5 5 -5 -6
Shine on har-vest moon for me and my gal
REPEAT CHORUS
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”
