We were waltzing that night in Kentucky

 4  5    6   7 -7 -6   6  4    -3
Beneath the beautiful harvest moon.

-6 -7  -6  6  -5   -4   4  -3 -3
And I was the boy that was lucky

-3  -3 -4  -6-7  -6   6
But it all ended too soon.

-6-7  7    7  6 -6   4 -4   5   5
As I sit here alone in the moonlight

6  8   8    8  -8    7
I see your smiling face.

-6 -7   7   7   -8    8   8    7  6
And I long once more for your embrace

 6    6  -6 -6 -7  -7 8 -8    7
And that beautiful Kentucky Waltz.

(AND AGAIN)
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
