Van Morrison - Moondance
 
This is a great version of this song that I found . . . somewhere.
I can't remember where I got this, but it's rather accurate.
I usually hybrid pick this song due to the kinds of chords used.
Have fun . . . Ian C.T. vom Saal

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance with the
  Am       Bm11/E       Am7   Bm7
Stars up above in your eyes

A fantabulous night to make romance 'neath the
 Am      Bm11/E    Am7     Bm7
Color of October skies
         Am           Bm11/E     Am7    Bm7
All the leaves on the trees are falling to the
Am           Bm11/E          Am7    Bm7
Sounds of the breezes that blow
         Am       Bm11/E        Am7    Bm7
And I'm trying to place to the calling of your
 Am             Bm11/E          Am7    Bm7
Heartstrings that play soft and low
              Dm7 G  Am7    G13

Dm7  G      Am7  G13
Whisper and hush …you know the

So - ft moonlight seems to shine

In your blush

When you come my heart will be waiting

To make sure that you're never alone
           Am        Bm11/E             Am7     Bm7
There and then all my dreams will come true dear

There and then I will make you my own
           Dm7         Am7
And every time I touch you, you just
  Dm7      Am7
Tremble inside
             Dm7         Am7          Dm7
Then I know how much you want me, that

You can't hide
