[Intro] F C F Bb C F [Verse 1]
F
Moonlight shining over Dixie

      C
To my heart will ever bring

          F               Bb
Dreams of snowy fields of cotton

     C                 F
Everywhere the darkies sing
[Chorus]
       Bb             F
In the evening in the moonlight

   C
In dear old Tennessee

        F                 Bb
And the evening bells are ringing

           C              F
Across the hills so tenderly
[Instrumental] F C F Bb C F [Verse 2]
F
Moonlight makes me sigh for you dear

         C
Makes me long to hold your hand

           F                Bb
I know I’m missing hugs and kisses

     C             F
Far away from Dixieland
[Chorus]
       Bb             F
In the evening in the moonlight

   C
In dear old Tennessee

        F                 Bb
And the evening bells are ringing

           C              F
Across the hills so tenderly
[Instrumental] F C F Bb C F [Verse 3]

My darling come come I am waiting

            C
Come let me hold you very near

              F               Bb
We’ll build a bower among the flowers

        C            F
Growing down in Dixieland
[Outro]
       Bb             F
In the evening in the moonlight

In dear old Tennessee

        F                 Bb
And the evening bells are ringing

           C              F
Across the hills so tenderly
