                  G
We were sailing along
(twist and shout!)
    G7        G
On Moonlight Bay,
(ooh)
                          D7
We could hear the voices singing,
(I like it!)
                G
They seemed to say,
"You have broken my heart,
(oh, twist and shout!)
   C7        G
So don't go away
(are the Beatles gone?)
(No, they're here)
            D7
With your short, fat, hairy legs
              G
On Moonlight Bay,
On Moonlight Bay."

Ooh!
Yeah!
