    Last night the pale moon was shining, last night when all was still,
                E                            A                     E             B7           E
    I was wandering alone in sadness out among the woodland hills.
         E                        A                    E                            B7
    I heard the birds a-singing out among the trees and views,
           E                          A                 E                    B7             E
    and all the birds, my darling, were singing, were singing of you.

    I think of you in the daytime, I dream of you by night,
        E                                    A                      E             B7               E
    I wake and wish you was here, love, and tears are blinding my sight.

    The flowers that slumber so sweetly, the stars are above the blue,
            E                          A              E               B7             E
