Moon River - Soundtracks 🎦

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.   F        F6     Bb         Fmaj7     Em7b5 EADGBE   EADGBE     EADGBE      EADGBE     EADGBE 133211    XX0211     X1333X      X03210     0X2333       A7        Dm          F7/C        Eb9        Bm7b5 EADGBE     EADGBE      EADGBE      EADGBE     EADGBE X05655     XX0231      X3X241      X65666     7X776X
