	  		             E                                       A                E                            B7 
    Last night the pale moon was shining, last night when all was still, 
                E                            A                     E             B7           E 
    I was wandering alone in sadness out among the woodland hills. 
         E                        A                    E                            B7 
    I heard the birds a-singing out among the trees and views, 
           E                          A                 E                    B7             E 
    and all the birds, my darling, were singing, were singing of you. 

           A                           E                                                         B7 
Were singing, singing of you, my love were singing, singing of you, 
        E                         A                 E                    B7            E 
and all the birds, my darling were singing, were singing of you. 

         E                          A               E                      B7 
    I think of you in the daytime, I dream of you by night, 
        E                                    A                      E             B7               E 
    I wake and wish you was here, love, and tears are blinding my sight. 
             E                                       A               E                            B7 
    The flowers that slumber so sweetly, the stars are above the blue, 
            E                          A              E               B7             E 
    oh, heaven itself, my darling, is thinking, is thinking of you.

Is thinking, thinking of you, my love, is thinking, thinking of you, 
         E                         A              E               B7             E

    I open my window so gently, look down on the dreaming view, 
            E                          A                 E                  B7              E 
    and all the world, my darling, was sighing, was sighing for you.
