The seasons they are turnin’ and my sad heart is yearnin’

To hear again the songbird’s sweet melodious tone

Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone?

The dusky light, the day is losing, Orchids, Poppies, Black-eyed Susan

The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone

Where the geese into the countryside have flown

Well, I’m preachin’ peace and harmony
Am
The blessings of tranquility

Yet I know when the time to strike is right

I’ll take you cross the river dear

You’ve no need to linger here
G D7
know the kinds of things you like
[Verse]
G G#dim Am A#dim
The clouds are turnin’ crimson–the leaves fall from the limbs an’
G Em A9
The branches cast their shadows over stone
G Em Am7 D Am7 D G C D7
Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone?
[Verse]
G G#dim Am A#dim
The boulevards of cypress trees, the masquerades of birds and bees

The petals, pink and white, the wind has blown
G Em Am7 D Am7 D G C D7
Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone?
[Bridge]
C
The trailing moss and mystic glow
Am
Purple blossoms soft as snow
C A7
My tears keep flowing to the sea
G
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
G#dim Am A#dim
It takes a thief to catch a thief
Am7 D7 G
For whom does the bell toll for, love?
D7 G
It tolls for you and me
[Verse]
G G#dim Am A#dim
My pulse is runnin’ through my palm–the sharp hills are rising from
G Em A9
The yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan
G Em Am7 D Am7 D G
Won’t you meet me out in the moonlight alone?
[Outro]
