Moonlight Serenade Chords by Kurt Elling

_ _ _ _ [Gm] Understand _ [D] the night
When [Dm] she flashes [F] her sparkling [C] eyes at _ dusk
[Fm] She flirts with [Ab] twilight
[Eb] _ [C] When the noise of day [Gm] dies away
[Eb] _ The night and twilight stay and stay
[Bb] Making quiet [Eb] love up [Ab] high over the tower
_ And the [Gm] gentle twilight gives his light
[D] _ _
[Fm] Making a queen of [F] night
[Eb] If I [F] could, I would write a [G] sonnet of the night
As a remembrance [Gm] of your eyes
[C] And if you'd [Bb] promise not to tell
I [Eb] could whisper the words in the [Gb] dark
_ Like a [B] lover _
[F] We could count the [C] stars, the shooting stars
And [Bb] talk of lovers through the ages
Who had lived out of [Eb] their dreams
Such will and [G] spirit, courage, they needed to live in a [Eb] dream
To burn with every breath so [Bb] serene
As if they had been [Eb] the first to find [Ab] love at all
Like night [B] and [Gm] twilight
They were the first of [Gbm] lovers ever
[Fm] Could we be like them?
[Ebm] _ _
[F] Hold on to one [Gm] another _
[Eb] Until dawn comes
Then we'll fly off and dream until night [Ab] and twilight kiss again
[Eb] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Eb] My love
_ [Bb] _
My one [D] and only love
Let [Fm] me take [Ab] you out under [B] the [Bb] moonlight
_ [Ab] _
[Eb] And show
_ [Bb] _ How [Bm] the twilight [B] loves the night
[Eb] Why he lives [Bb] for an hour [Eb] of loving
_ Through [Gm] _ _ [D] lifetimes _ [C] of [Abm] longing
_ [Gb] _
[Bb] And _ sings his [Fm] moonlight _ _ [Bbm] serenade
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
