Capo 3rd Fret
Intro: (G) (G)
At first I (G) thought it was the moonlight, shinin' through the mist
Cause after all, a kiss is just a kiss
(Am) So I thought
I must've been (G) wrong
Coulda been the music, cause it sounded so sweet
Something sure was sweeping me, off of my feet
(Am) All night long
It sure was st(G)rong
Before I (Em) knew what was going (Am) on
I was (C) going, going, (G) gone
I suppose it (G) coulda been the perfume from the honeysuckle vine
Something sure was driving me out of mind
(Am) But, I shoulda known
All a(G)long
It was your (Em) love and it was so (Am) strong
Now, I'm (C) going, going, (G) gone
(D) Might've been the magic
Written in the stars
Some (C) gypsy might've read it
Somewhere in the cards
(D) Doesn't really matter
Cause whatever it was
(C) It lead me straight to your (D) arms
First I (G) thought it was the moonlight, shinin' through the mist
Cause after all, a kiss is just a kiss
(Am) So I thought
I must've been (G) wrong
Before I (Em) knew what was going (Am) on
I was (C) going, going, (G) gone
(G) (G) (G) (G)
(Am) Going, going, (G) gone
(C) Going, going, (G) gone
(C) Going, going, (G) gone
