Racing With the Moon

Words & Music by Vaughn Monroe & Johnny Watson
Recorded by Vaughn Monroe, 1941


  A    Cdim     A
Racing with the Moon,

  A    C#7    Fdim(III)     Dm6
High up in the  mid - night blue, 

Fdim  E   D9  E7   D9
And  then all too soon, 

E7-9 Fdim  E    A
It's lost from view.


 A    Cdim     A
Gazing at the stars

  A    C#7    Fdim(III)   Dm6  Gdim   Dm6
High up in the clouds of grey, 

Fdim  E   D9  E7   D9
But just like the moon,

E7-9 Fdim E   A
They fade a - way. 


Bridge:

C#7    F#m  C#m7-5    G#7
In the blue heavens I see,

C#m7-5 G7  Bm7-5      F#7
 Your face smiling at me,

   E7-9       Fdim      D9
My heart will never be free,

  F#m       F7      E
Until we're back together.


 A     Cdim      A
Racing with the Moon,

  A      C#7    Fdim(III)   Dm6  Gdim   Dm6
That is what I'll al - ways do,

Fdim  E D9  E7     D9
Till  I o - ver - take 

E7-9 Fdim  E   A
The  moon and you.
