A7 E6 Gdim
I stand at the gate,
F#m F#m+7 Fdim B7
And the song that I sing is of moon-light;
E E+7
I stand and I wait
E7 E6 C#7
For the touch of your hand in the June night;
E - Cdim E -F#m Cdim B7 B7+5 E B7+5
The ro - ses are sigh-ing a moonlight ser - e - nade.
A7 E6 Gdim
The stars are aglow,
F#m F#m+7 Fdim - B7
And tonight how their light sets me dream-ing.
E E+7
My love, do you know
E7 E6 C#7
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
E Cdim E F#m Cdim B7 B7+5 E
I bring you and sing you a moonlight ser - e - nade.

Let us stray til the break of day
Ebm7 G#7 Bm7
In love's valley of dreams,
C#7 C#m6 Eb7 C#m6
Just you and I, a sum - mer sky,
Eb7 Bm6 C#7 F#m7 B7-9
A hea - ven - ly breeze kiss - ing the trees.
A7 E6 Gdim
So don't let me wait;
F#m F#m+7 Fdim B7
Come to me tenderly in the June night,
E E+7
I stand at the gate
E7 E6 C#7
And I sing you a song in the moonlight;
E Cdim E F#m Cdim B7 B7+5 E
A love song, my darl-ing, a moonlight ser - e - nade.
