  			We were C waltzing that night in Kentucky 
Beneath the beautiful harvest G7 moon 
And I was the boy that was lucky 
But it all ended too C soon 
As I sit here alone in the moonlight 
I see your C7 smiling F face 
And I long once more for C your em-{A7} brace 
And the D7 beautiful Ken-{G7} tucky C waltz.
