Harvest Moon
Neil Young

Neil Young
Unplugged
1993

I grabbed my first Neil Young CD from Columbia House
the other day, and this seemed like a good place to
start.  I had never heard the song before, but I know
that the public liked it.  It's not too bad, just get
the harmonics down.

LYRICS:

Come a little bit closer hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin' we could dream this night away
But there's a full moon risin' let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin' let's go out and feel the night

CHORUS
G                                 A
   Because I'm still in love with you
                       G
I wanna see you dance again
                               A
Because I'm still in love with you
                  play intro
On this harvest moon


When we were strangers I watched you from afar
Then when we were lovers I loved you with all my heart
But now it's gettin' late and the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate see it shinin' in your eye
