Shine On, Harvest Moon

Words & Music by Jack Norworth & Nora Bayes-Norworth, 1938

     Em              B7                Em        Am
The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see,

         Em     C7       B7
And the moon refused to shine;

Em             B7             Em         A7
Couple sittin' underneath the willow tree

    D    Ebdim        A
for love      they   pined.

    D7    (F7)     (Am)   (F7)      D7
The little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness,

       G
So she said, "I guess I'll go."

A7               D6      A7               D6
The boy began to sigh,   looked up in the sky,

    Em                A7               D7
And told the moon his little tale of woe.

Refrain:

 E7                  E7b5    A7
"Shine on, shine on, harvest moon up in the sky

D13  D7    D13 D7
I    ain't had no lovin' since

G        D7        Bbdim   G
January, February, June or Ju-ly.

 E7                     E7b5   A7
Snow time ain't no time to     stay outdoors and spoon,

   D13   D7  D13   D7          G         C         G
So shine on, shine on, harvest moon, for me and my gal."
