[B]
[E]
Please meet me tonight in [A] the moonlight
Oh, please [B] meet me tonight [E] all alone
For I have a sad [E] story [A] to tell you
It's a [B] story that's never been told
I'll be moved to a new jail [A] tomorrow
[B] I'll be leaving my [E] darling alone
With these cold prison bars [A] all around me
I lay my [B]
head on a pillow [E] of stone
So please meet me tonight here in the moonlight
Oh, [B] please meet me tonight [E] all alone
[E] For I have a sad story to [A] tell you
It's a [B] story that's never been [E] told
[E]
Now I have a fine ship on [A] the ocean
And [B] she's laden with [E] silver and gold
But before my darling [A] would suffer
[A]
[B] Oh, my ship would be anchored [E] and sold
[C#]
So [E] please meet me tonight [A] in the moonlight
Oh, [B] please meet me tonight [E] all alone
For I have a sad story [A] to tell you
It's a [B] story that's never [E] been told
[C#]
[E] Now if I had the wings [A] of an angel
Over [B] these prison bars [E] I would fly
I'd fly into the arms [A] of my darling
And [B] if there I'd be willing [E] to die
[C#]
So [E] please meet me tonight in [A] the moonlight
Oh, [B] please meet me tonight [E] all alone
For I have a sad story [A] to tell you
It's [B] a story that's never [E] been told
It's [F#] a story [B] that's never [E] been told
[B] [E] [N]
