SLEEPY LAGOON
Harry James, The Platters
words by Jack Lawrence, music by Eric Coates
Key: C


1   -1  2  3   6  -5  4  -3  3   -3          
A sleep-y la-goon, a trop-i-cal moon 
3    2  -1 1   2  2
and two on an is-land
1   -1  2  3   6  -5   4    -3
A sleep-y la-goon and two hearts 
3   -3  3   2   -1   1  2   2
in tune in some lull-a-by-land
2   2  -3   2     -1 
The fi-re-flies' gleam 
2    2     -3 2   -1
Re-flects in the stream
2      2   -3  2    3   3
They spark-le and shim-mer
-4 -4   -5  -4  -3
A star from on high 
-4    -4  -5  -4  -3
falls out of the sky
-4   -4  -5   -4   3   3
And slow-ly grows dim-mer
1     -1    2    3   6
The leaves from the trees 
-5    4   -3  3    -3
all dance in the breeze
3     2   -1  1   2    2
And float on the rip-ples
1      -1  2  3   6   -5   4   -3   3    -3
We're deep in a spell as night-in-gales tell
3    2 -1  1   -1   
Of ros-es and dew
1    -1 2  4 -3  1   -1  2    4  3*
The mem-o-ry of this mo-ment of love
1     -1   2   4   3 3
Will haunt me for-ev-er
3  3  -2  2   -3  -2  -2   2 -1  3
A trop-i-cal moon, a sleep-y la-goon
-3   4
And you

REPEAT

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
