Verse 
           A#              F 
A night in June, a silvery moon 
          F             F 
A falling star, a steel guitar 
            A# 
A plaintive tune 
            D#             A# 
A love-sick boy, a heart a-whirl 
      A#         F             A# 
A serenade to an old-fashioned girl 
          D#                 A# 
A perfect dream, a matchless pearl

A serenade to an old-fashioned girl
