  C       G7              C
I saw the splendor of the moonlight

On hono lu lu bay
C                 G7            C
There’s something tender in the moonlight,
        Ab7G7 C
On hono lu lu bay

Am
And all the beaches
Are full of peaches
Em                     Ab7 G7
Who bring their ukes a long
C          Em             Am       G7
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
             D7        G7
They love to sing this song

Where the tricky wicki wakies woo
   Dm  G7     Dm      G7

Verse 2:

C           G7            C
She used to sing to me by moonlight
        Ab7G7 C
On hono lu lu bay
              G7             C
Fond memories cling to me by moonlight
             Ab7 G7C
Although I’m far a way

Am
Someday I'm going
Where eyes are glowing
Em                   Ab7  G7
And lips are made to kiss
C           Em          Am       G7
To see some body in the moonlight
             D7     G7
And hear the song I miss
