Intro: ||: Am - G  | F - G :||

             Am  A9  Am   G    G9  G  Am 
Well, it's a mar-vel-ous night for a moon-dance

 G        Am   A9 Am  G   G9  G   Am     G
With the stars up  a-bove in your eyes

      Am A9  Am   G    G9  G   Am        
A fan-tab-u-lous night to make ro-mance

 G         Am  A9 Am G  G9  G  Am     
'Neath the cov-er of Oc-to-ber skies

     G       Am    A9 Am  G    G9  G   Am     
And all the leaves on the trees   are falling

G       Am   A9 Am  G     G9  G   Am
To the sound of the bree-zes that blow

G       Am   A9 Am  G     G9  G  Am
And I'm try-ing to please to the calling

G       Am      A9     Am  G     G9   G  Am G
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low

            F - F9 - F Am             Dm   Am  Dm  Am
And all the night's    magic seems to whis-per and hush

              F - F9 - F Am                 F             E7
And all the soft        moonlight seems to shine in your blush

    Am       G       F        G         Am   G     F    G
Can I just have one more moondance with you,   my love

    Am      G         F      G         Am   G      F    E7
Can I just make some more romance with you,    my love?


G        Am   A9 Am    G   G9  G  Am         G
Well, I wan - na make love to you to - night

G        Am   A9  Am   G    G9  G   Am     G
I can't wait 'til the morn-ing has come

G      Am   A9   Am  G   G9  G   Am     G
And I know that the time is just right

G            Am A9 Am  G   G9  G   Am     G
And straight in-to my arms you will run

      G   Am   A9 Am  G     G9  G   Am      G
And when you come my heart will be wait-ing

G         Am  A9   Am     G  G9 G   Am     G
To make sure that you're nev-er a-lone

G          Am   A9 Am  G       G9  G   Am         
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear

G          Am  A9 Am   G   G9  G   Am     G
There and then I will make you my own

               F - F9 - F  Am                  Dm  Am  Dm  Am
And every time I          touch you, you just trem-ble in-side

            F - F9 - F Am                F             E7
And I know how        much you want me that you can't hide

    Am       G       F        G         Am   G     F    G
Can I just have one more moondance with you,   my love

    Am      G         F      G         Am   G      F    E7
Can I just make some more romance with you,    my love?



When you start getting comfortable with this, there's a repeating Am-G figure that sounds gorgeous here. If you listen to the recording, you'll know what I mean. It plays more like Am-A9-Am-G-G9-G than just Am-G, and once you get the hang of it, it makes the song.
