  • Complete song:
    • By the Light of the Silvery Moon 3 PDF ~ MP3

There are two versions of this song. The chorus-only version can be played on a diatonic or a chromatic in two different positions. The complete song is much more involved and only works on a chromatic. Playing either version at the speed of the MP3 is quite challenging. You’ll end up with a nice Tin Pan Alley era tune people will love.

Lyrics

  • Place, park (scene, dark)Silvery moon is shining through the trees(Cast, two) me, youSound of kisses floating on the breeze
  • Act one (begun)Dialog, where would ya like to spoon?(My cue) with youUnderneath the silvery moon
  • By the light of the silvery moonI want to spoonTo my honey, I’ll croon love’s tuneHoneymoon, keep a-shinin’ in JuneYour silvery beams will bring love’s dreamsWe’ll be cuddlin’ soon
    By the silvery moon
  • Act two, scene newRoses blooming all around the place(Cast three) you mePreacher with a solemn-looking face
  • Choir sings, bell rings(Preacher) you are wed forever more
    Act two, all throughEvery night the same encore

  • By the light of the silvery moonI want to spoonTo my honey, I’ll croon love’s tuneHoneymoon, keep a-shinin’ in JuneYour silvery beams will bring love’s dreamsWe’ll be cuddlin’ soon
    By the silvery moon
