Moon River tab by Soundtracks

Tabs with lyrics

Moon River

music Henry Mancini, lyrics Johnny Mercer

Transcribed by Graham Hawkins (ghawkins@comp.vuw.ac.nz)

V1.0 29 August 1996.

This song is from the movie Breakfast At Tiffany's. It won the
Oscar for Best Song in 1961, and also Best Score. As you probably
know the song was sung by Audrey Hepburn, and BTW her fingering
was spot on! :-)

All tab and lyrics are as I hear them in the film.


Some of the tab for verse 2 is the same, so refer to the lyrics
above which are in the tab to see which order to play the tab in.
