G         G/E
birds sing songs and
         G       G/E
wake the dreamers
           C
from their sorrow
            G      G/E
force while raining
       D                   C
crying bye bye sweet fried chicken
       G      G/E
and the platter
       G   G/E
glides away


[Chorus]
       G        G/E
in the moonlight
       G        G/E
in the moonlight
         C
we don't hear the
      G      G/E
water running
         D
down the stream of
         C
all the people
         G     G/E
there is no one
     G     G/E
ever coming


[Verse 2]
            G    G/E
I lay on my side
            G   G/E
I lay on my side
        C
you was laying
        G      G/E
right beside me
        D
and the stars
         C
they was coming
    G       G/E
and blinking
      G  G/E
tenderly


[Verse 3]
                 G   G/E
little lightning bugs
              G    G/E
time and time again
         C
down and dashing
      G      G/E
all around us
      D
and a shooting
          C
star come flashing
      G     G/E
never making
      G       G/E
not a bit of fuss


[Verse 3]
            G           G/E
sometime we walk in song
         G            G/E
that the moon was going
        C
from the left side
       G         G/E
to the right side
        D
and the columns
           C
of mist was rising
            G              G/E
looked like friends of mine
         G   G/E
who have died


[Chorus]
       G        G/E
in the moonlight
       G        G/E
in the moonlight
         C
we don't hear the
      G      G/E
water running
         D
down the stream of
         C
all the people
         G     G/E
there is no one
     G     G/E
ever coming
