[Intro]
Ab7
[Chorus]
Ab7 Havana moon Ab7 Havana moon
[Verse 1]
Ab Me all alone with jug of rum Ab Me stand and wait for boat to come Ab Is long the night, is quiet the dark Ab The boat she late since twelve o'clock Ab Me watch the tide easing in Ab Is low the moon but high the wind
[Chorus]
Ab7 Havana moon Ab7 Havana moon
[Verse 2]
Ab Me all alone, me open the rum Ab Is long the wait for boat to come Ab American girl come back to me Ab We'll sail away across the sea Ab We'll dock in New York, the buildings high Ab We find a home up in the sky
[Chorus]
Ab7 Havana moon Ab7 Havana moon
[Verse 3]
Ab Me still alone, me sip on the rum Ab Me wonder when the boat she come Ab To bring me love, oh sweet little thing Ab She rock and roll, she dance and sing Ab She hold me tight, she touch me lips Ab Me eyes they close, me heart she flip
[Chorus]
Ab7 Havana moon Ab7 Havana moon
[Verse 4]
Ab But still alone me drinking the rum Ab Begin to think the boat no come Ab American girl she tell a lie Ab She say, "Till then" Ab She mean, "Goodbye"
[Chorus]
Ab7 Havana moon Ab7 Havana moon
[Verse 5]
Ab Me lay down alone, was good the rum Ab Me fall asleep, the boat she come Ab The girl she look till come the dawn Ab She weep and cry and return for home Ab The whistle blow, me open me eyes Ab Was bright the sun, was blue the skies Ab Me grab me shoes, me jump and run Ab Me see the boat head for horizon Ab Havana moon, is gone the rum Ab The boat she sail, me love she gone
