Introdução: E7 Am Bb9 Fdim E E7/9- 
 
E7  Am       Bb9    Fdim E 
The moon was yellow          
         E7/9-  E7   A9 
And the night was young 
Am A9     Am  Asus4 Am A9  
A smile brought  us  together 
    Am Dm D9 Dm Dsus4 Dm D9  Dm   
And I was wond'ring whether 
E7   E7/13- E7  Fdim E7/13- A9   Am 
We'd meet again some day 
E7  Am       Bb9    Fdim E 
The moon was yellow           
        E7/9- E7   A9 
And a song was sung 
 Am  A9 Am Asus4 Am   
That   vocal   inspiration    
A9 Am Dm  D9 Dm Dsus4 Dm D9 Dm   
Gave   me   the   inclination 
E7 E7/13- E7 Fdim  E7 Am Dm Am 
To give my heart away 
Bridge 
F       Dm7 G        C7        Gdim      F7M 
Here we are.  Is our romance to continue 
E7  E7/13- Fdim E7/13- E7 E7/13- A9 Am 
Will  it   be   my  luck  to  win  you 
F     Dm7  Fdim  E7 
May I look that far 
E7  Am     Bb9    Fdim  E       E7/9-   E7  A9 
My love is mellow        and my hopes are strung 
Am  A9  Am Asus4 Am  A9  Am  
Around   that   cupid   fellow.      
Dm     D9  Dm Dsus4 Dm D9    Dm   
Behold!   The   moon   is   yellow 
E7  E7/13- Bb9 Fdim  Am 
And the night is  young
