Intro
| [Gm] Oooh do do do... | [D7] | [Gm] | [D7] |
| [Gm] [D7] | [Gm]
The | [Gm] night was mighty dark so you could | hardly see
'cause the | [Gm] moon refused to | [D7] shine |
| [Gm] There's a couple sitting 'neath a | willow tree
For | [C7] love, they did | [F7] pine |
| [Eb] Little maid was kinda | 'fraid of darkness
So | [Bb] she said, “I guess I'll | go” |
| [C7] Boy began to sigh, | looked up at the sky
And | [C7] told the moon his little tale of | [F7↓] woe [Fdim7↓] oh
Chorus
| [G7] Shine on | Shine on harvest | [C7] moon, up in the | sky |
| [F7] I ain't | had no lovin' since |
| [Bb] January [Eb] February | [Bb] June or Ju- [Eb] ly |
| [G7] Snow time | ain't no time to | [C7] stay, outdoors and | spoon
So | [F7] shine on, shine on harvest |
| [Bb] moon, for [F7] me and my | [Bb] gal [D7]
Chorus
| [G7] Shine on | Shine on harvest | [C7] moon, up in the | sky |
