    Am7           Cm
It must have been moonglow

G              A9   
Way up in the blue;

    Am             Cdim
It must have been moonglow

 G   Bbm7-5    Am7         G  
That  led  me straight to you.


    Am7           Cm
I still hear you saying,

       G            A9
"Dear One, hold me fast,"

    Am         Cdim
And I start in praying,

     G   Bbm7-5  Am7        G
"Oh Lord, please let this last."


Bridge:

G   G+7           G/F#          E7-9       E7
We  --  seemed to float right through the air;

    A9                   Am7              D9     D+
Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'rywhere.



     Am7              Cm
And now when there's moonglow

     G         A9
Way up in the blue,

  Am         Cdim
I always re - mem - ber

 G   Bbm7-5    Am7     G
That moonglow gave me you.

G    Bbm7-5   Am7 Am7-5  G
That moonglow gave  me  you.
