music Henry Mancini, lyrics Johnny Mercer Transcribed by: Jeanne Yeagley Moon River as played on guitar in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Sounds lovely on nylon strings. These are interesting chords, so try them as I have them written even if you know another voicing. After the chord blocks I have shown where to put them relative to the lyrics. The chords change about every other word, making it difficult to follow if many words are left out. For most of the song the two lowest bass notes are picked in sequence followed by two down strums.
