Cm7-5      Dm/f  F    Bb   /b  Cm7  F                tone
out in the moonlight alone

The dusky light, the day is losing
Orchids, poppies, black-eyed Susan
The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone
Won't you meet me
Cm7-5      Dm/f F    Bb     F+
out in the moonlight alone

The air is thick and heavy
All along the levee
Where the geese into the countryside have flown
Won't you meet me
Cm7-5      Dm/f  F    Bb
out in the moonlight alone

          Gm
Well, I'm preaching peace and harmony
    Cm
The blessings of tranquility
    Gm                               C7
Yet I know when the time is right to strike
  Bb
I take you 'cross the river, dear
C7
You've no need to linger here
Dm/f         F+                F    F+
I know the kinds of things you like

The clouds are turning crimson
The leaves fall from the limbs an'
The branches cast their shadows over stone
Won't you meet me
out in the moonlight alone

The boulevards of cypress trees
The masquerades of birds and bees
The petals, pink and white, the wind has blown
Won't you meet me
out in the moonlight alone

The trailing moss and mystic glow
The purple blossoms soft as snow
My tears keep flowing to the sea.
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
It takes a thief to catch a thief
For whom does the bell toll for, love?
It tolls for you and me.  *)

My pulse is runnin' through my palm
The sharp hills are rising from
Yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan
Won't you meet me
out in the moonlight alone

The trailing moss and mystic glow
Purple blossoms soft as snow
My tears keep flowing without end
Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
It takes a thief to catch a thief
For whom does the bell toll for, love? It tolls for you, my friend
