              F7                               C
   Out in the moon-light, just like we used to do
               C               F7
   I'm al-ways walk-in' af-ter mid-night

        Cry-in' on his pil-low
        C                       C7
        May-be he's cry-in' for me
            F 
        And as the skies turn gloom-y

        Night winds whis-per to me

   Some-where a-walk-in' af-ter mid-night
