Shine On Harvest Moon Chords

Shine on Harvest Moon
Performed by: Leon Redbone
Tabbed by: JB335
 
Notes: This is really a basic chord, intended for use as a jumping off point.
That said, it’s mostly correct. I find barre chords and finger/thumbpicking works best here.
 
 
[Intro]
Gm
 
[Verse]
Gm                                                                              D7
The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see, cause the moon refused to shine
Gm                                                   C
There’s a couple sittin  ‘neath the willow tree, for love, they pine
Eb                                        Bb
Little maid was kinda ‘fraid of darkness, so she said I think I’ll go
C                                                               F           D7
Boy began to sigh, looked up in the sky and told the moon his little tale of woe, oh
 
[Chorus]
G7                          C
Shine on, shine on harvest moon, up in the sky
F                            Bb
I ain’t had no lovin since January, February, June or July
G7                         C
Snowtime ain’t no time to stay outdoors and spoon
    F                         Bb         F        Bb
So shine on, shine on harvest moon, for me n’ my gal
