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

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 [instr. verse, ending with:]

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
