Cm               Bb         Ab          G     bass GFEbD
Skip softly, my moonbeams, avoid being seen 
Cm               Bb          Ab          G   
Pretend that perhaps you are part of a dream 
        Cm           Eb         Bb       F
which (seen by some other such person as me) 
      Cm         Eb         Bb       F     G  bass GFEbD
would only glow smiling and nod and agree


Skip softly, my moonbeams, for I have heard tell 
that the stairs up to heaven lead straight down to hell 
that pride is the last thing which comes before fall 
I'd as soon talk to you as make love to a wall
