Recorded by Julie London, 1963


Em7   A7      D         G6   D
Magic is the moonlight 

Dalt    A7       D          G6   D
On this lover's June night,

Dalt  D6     Em7       G/B   A7
As I see the moonlight 

Em7     A7       D      Bm7  A7
Shining in your eyes.


Em7      A7      D     G6   D
Can't resist the power

Dalt    A7       D     G6   D
In this moonlit hour

Dalt  D6      Em7    G/B   A7
Love began to flower 

Em7     A7   D    DM7   D7
This is paradise.



Bridge:

D7/F#           G      G/F# Em7
Living in the splendor 

A7      G/B      D     G6  D
Of your kiss so tender

F#m               E7      Bm7-5   E7
Make my heart surrender 

     Fdim     A  G/B   A7
To a love divine.


Em7   A7      D       G6   D
Magic is the moonlight 

Dalt      A7   D         G6   D
More than any June night

Dalt  D6      Em7     G/B   A7
Magic is the moonlight 

Em7     A7       D
For it made you mine.
