A# Bdim The seasons, they are turning Cm7 C#dim And my sad heart is yearning A#/D A# C9 To hear again the songbird's sweet melodious tone A# Gm7 Won't you Dm7 G7 meet me Cm7-5 Dm/F F A# Cm7 F 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 Won't you meet me Cm7-5 Dm/F F A# F+ out in the moonlight alone The air is thick and heavy All along the levee Where the geese into the countryside have flown Won't you meet me Cm7-5 Dm/F F A# out in the moonlight alone Gm Well, I'm preaching peace and harmony Cm The blessings of tranquility Gm C7 Yet I know when the time is right to strike A# I take you 'cross the river, dear C7 You've no need to linger here Dm/F F+ F F+ I know the kinds of things you like The clouds are turning crimson The leaves fall from the limbs an' The branches cast their shadows over stone Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone The boulevards of cypress trees The masquerades of birds and bees The petals, pink and white, the wind has blown Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone The trailing moss and mystic glow The purple blossoms soft as snow My tears keep flowing to the sea. Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief It takes a thief to catch a thief For whom does the bell toll for, love? It tolls for you and me. My pulse is runnin' through my palm The sharp hills are rising from Yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  C7  Cm7  C9  D  Dm  Dm7  F  F+  Gm  G7  Gm7  Bdim  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
