Verse 1:

Ab            Db     Ab        AbM7Ab7
I have always been a wand-'rer
Db   Dbm  Dbm6Ab
Over land and sea
Ab             Db     Ab
Yet a moonbeam on the water
Bb7           Bb9  DbdimEb7
Casts a spell o'er me

  Bbm    Gbdim  Bbm GbEb7
A vision fair I see,
  Ab     Abdim   BbmGbEb7
A-gain I seem to be

Chorus:

           Ab       F7   Bb7
Back home a-gain in Indi-ana
       Eb13         Eb7 Ab
And it seems that I can see
    AbM7 Ab7  Db
The glea-ming candle light
Abdim Ab             F7
Still shining bright
         Bb7  Bb13      Eb7GbdimEb7
Thru the syca-mores for me

             Ab        F7      Bb7
The new mown hay sends all its fragrance
         Eb13          DbdimFm   E7+5
From the fields I used to roam
       Ab              C7
When I dream about the moonlight
       Fm    Abdim
On the Wabashthen I
Ab          Eb   Eb7 Ab   Eb7
long for my Indi-ana home

Verse 2:

Ab              Db       Ab     AbM7Ab7
Fancy paints on mem'ry's canvas
Db          DbmDbm6 Ab
Scenes that we hold dear
Ab             Db      Ab
We recall them in days after
Bb7          Bb9DbdimEb7
clearly they ap-pear

    Bbm   Gbdim   Bbm GbEb7
And often times I see
  Ab          Abdim   BbmGbEb7
A scene that'sdear to me

Chorus Repeat:

The ending:

Ab   Dbm6       Ab   Ab6
Moon swee - eet moon
