How High The Moon?

Words & Music:

Nancy Hamilton & Morgan Lewis

 

From the musical "Two For The Show" (1940).  There is a complete transcription of the Joe Pass cover of this tune in the July 2006 issue of Guitar One and the November 2009 issue of Guitar Edge.

 

G                            Gm        C7

Somewhere there's music; how faint the tune.

F                             Fm       Bb7

Somewhere there's heaven; how high the moon.

Eb          Am7   D7        Gm      Am7b5     D7

There is no moon above when love is far away, too.

G             Am7  D7            G  Bb7       D7

'Til it comes true that you love me as I love you

G                            Gm        C7

Somewhere there's music; how near, how far?

F                              Fm        Bb7

Somewhere there's heaven; it's where you are.

Eb          Am7         D7       G         Cm6

The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon.

Bm7       Bb7       Am7      D7         G

Until you will, how still my heart, how high the moon.

 

Somewhere there's music; how faint the tune.

Somewhere there's heaven; how high the moon.

There is no moon above when love is far away, too.

'Til it comes true that you love me as I love you

 

Somewhere there's music; how near, how far?

Somewhere there's heaven; it's where you are.

The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon.

Until you will, how still my heart, how high the moon.
