Verse 1:
Am
The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
E7
For the moon refused to shine

Couple sitting underneath the willow tree

For love, they pined

Little May was kinda 'fraid of darkness

So she says "I guess I'll go."

Boy began to sigh, looked up to the sky

Told the sky his little tale of woe
Chorus:

So shine on
A7 D7
Shine on harvest moon up in the sky

I can't see why a boy should cry when by his side
E7
Is the girl he loves so true.
Am
All he has to say is "won't you be my bride,
D7 G7
For I love you."
G7
But why should I be telling you this secret,
C
When I know, that you can guess.
D7
Harvest moon will smile, shine on all the while,
G7 E7
If the little girl should answer yes!

So shine on
