Introdução: G7M Em7 Am7 D7/9- 
 
                  Am7      Cm 
It must have been moonglow 
               G  A9    
Way up in the blue 
                  Am       Cdim 
It must have been moonglow 
 G  Bbm5-/7   Am7         G   
That led me straight to you 
                 Am7   Cm 
I still hear you saying 
                     G  A9 
"Dear One, hold me fast" 
                  Am    Cdim 
And I start in praying 
   G  Bbm5-/7    Am7        G 
"Oh Lord, please let this last" 
G  G7/13-      G/F#         E7/9-    E7 
We   seemed to float right through the air 
     A9           Am7          D9       D7/13- 
Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'rywhere 
                     Am7      Cm 
And now when there's moonglow 
               G   A9 
Way up in the blue 
             Am   Cdim 
I always remember 
 G     Bbm5-/7  Am7    G 
That moonglow gave me you 
 
Interlude: G G7/13- G/F# E7/9- E7 A9 Am7 D9 D7/13- Am7 Cm G Bbm5-/7 Am7 G 
 
                  Am7      Cm 
It must have been moonglow 
               G  A9    
Way up in the blue 
                  Am       Cdim 
It must have been moonglow 
 G  Bbm5-/7   Am7         G   
That led me straight to you 
                 Am7   Cm 
I still hear you saying 
                     G  A9 
"Dear One, hold me fast" 
                  Am    Cdim 
And I start in praying 
   G  Bbm5-/7    Am7        G 
"Oh Lord, please let this last" 
G  G7/13-      G/F#         E7/9-    E7 
We   seemed to float right through the air 
     A9           Am7          D9       D7/13- 
Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'rywhere 
                     Am7      Cm 
And now when there's moonglow 
               G   A9 
Way up in the blue 
             Am   Cdim 
I always remember 
 G     Bbm5-/7  Am7    G 
That moonglow gave me you 
 G     Bbm5-/7  Am7    G 
That moonglow gave me you 
 G     Bbm5-/7  Am7    G 
That moonglow gave me you
