[Verse 1]
C                        F
Come won't you walk with me Griselda

C                      G
Wearing the dress that moonlight shines through

Am             F
I am a sad and lonely boy

C                 G
Since your mother said I couldn't see you
[Chorus]
C                         F           G
Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

C                       F  G
Calling to the moon out yonder

Am      Em             F              C
Oh Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

C           F     G     C
And lead me to my Griselda
[Verse 2]
C                  F
Do you recall last night Griselda?

C                    G
Learning the lessons nature taught us

Am                     F
Watching the fish jump in the lake

C                       G
It was lovely till your mother caught us
[Chorus]
C                         F           G
Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

C                       F  G
Calling to the moon out yonder

Am      Em             F              C
Oh Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

C           F     G     C
And lead me to my Griselda
[Solo] C F C G Am F C G [Verse 3]
C                 F
Moonflower vines upon the window

C                  G
Give me a foothold for my finding

Am                  F
I've got a row boat on the lake

C                  G
Fishing around and all the sun was shining
[Chorus]
C                         F           G
Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

C                       F  G
Calling to the moon out yonder

Am      Em             F              C
Oh Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

C           F     G     C
And lead me to my Griselda
[Verse 4] (Strumming pattern stops, only single downstrokes)
C                 F
I've got a jug of wine Griselda

C                       G
Why must you waste your time in sorrow?
(strumming pattern resumes)
Am                  F
Hold out your hand, have no fear

C                     G
If we're caught, I'll marry you tomorrow
[Chorus]
C                         F           G
Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

C                       F  G
Calling to the moon out yonder

Am      Em             F              C
Oh Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

C           F     G     C
And lead me to my Griselda

C                         F           G
Slip into the wood in the dark of the night

C                       F  G
Calling to the moon out yonder

Am      Em             F              C
Oh Lady Moon won't you shine a silver light

C           F     G     C
And lead me to my Griselda
