  			G          F#              G               G7 
Sittin' alone in the moonlight, 
C                      D             G 
Thinking of the days gone by. 
G                F#           G              G7 
Wondering about my darling, 
        C            D                G 
I can still hear her say goodbye. 
Chorus: 
            C                 D         G 
Oh the moon grows pale as I sit here, 
                 C                  D                 G 
Each little star seems to whisper and say. 
        C                     D        G 
Your sweetheart has found another, 
       C             D          G 
And now she's far, far away.
