Verse 1:

D          A7      D
Why did my sweetie leave me?
D          A7      D
Why did we have to part?
A7               D   C#7  C7    B7
No other sweetie can re - lieve me
                 A7     A+
E7Of this aching heart.

D           A7       D
Why can't I have the sunshine?
D             F#7      Bm
Sunshine in - stead of gloom?
E7                 A          F#dim
Why must I have to  live with shadows
Bm    E7    A7     G#7A7
in my little room?

Chorus:

D                                     DD+BmD+
When the night is dark and peaceful,
D                        A#
Loving hearts are all in tune
        A7
There's two lonesome people in the whole wide world,
B7     E7         A7          D     A+
That's me and the man and the moon.

D                                  DD+BmD+
When the little birds are nesting,
D                    A#
And I listen to them croon,
         A7
There are two lonesome people in the whole wide world,
B7     E7         A7          D
That's me and the man and the moon.

Bm              C#7
Just before I'm counting sheep,
F#7                  B7
Through my window he comes to peep,
E7                                A7
And with each other we're sympa - thizing!

D                              DD+BmD+
Looking at those happy people,
D                         A#
While they sit around and spoon
        A7
There's two lonesome people in the whole wide world,
B7     E7         A7          D     BA7
That's me and the man and the moon.

Verse 2:

D             A7        D
Nothing could please me better,
D             A7         D
Nothing could bring more cheer
A7                D    C#7  C7     B7
Than to receive a nice love let -  ter
E7             A7    A+
From my sweety dear.

D           A7      D
Nothing but disap ñ pointment
F#7        Bm
Adds to my misery
E7          A        F#dim
Nobody ever seems to  care for
Bm      E7    A7 G#7A7
Melan - choly me
