It's [Db] not the pale [B] moon [Abm] that excites [A] [Bbm] me, [Db] that thrills [Gbm] and [Dbm] delights [Gbm] me, [Fm] oh no.
[D]
[Bbm] It's [Abm] just [Fm] the nearness of [Bbm] you, [Ab] [Ebm]
[Fm] it isn't [Db] your sweet [B] conversation [F]

[B]
[Gb] All [Abm] my [Bbm] wonders [F]
[Bb] dream [G] come true, [Ab] I need no soft [Bbm] light [Abm]
to enchant me,
[Gb] if you'll [Db] only grant [Gbm]
me [Fm] the [Bbm] [Bm] right [Ebm]
[Db] to hold [F] you ever so tight,
[Bb] and to feel [Ebm] in the [Ab] night [Gb] [Ebm]

me, oh no.

All my [Gb]
wonders [Abm] dream [Gm] come [G]
