Evening bells are ringing (video)

1. Moonlight shining over Dixie

A A7

to my heart will ever bring

D G

dreams of snowy fields of cotton

A D

everywhere the darkies sing.

G D A A7

In the evening by the moonlight in dear old Tennessee,

D G A D

and the evening bells are ringing across the hills so tenderly.

D

2. Moonlight makes me sigh for you, dear,

A A7

makes me long to hold your hand.

D G

I know I'm missing hugs and kisses,

A D

far away from Dixieland. + CHORUS

D

3. My darling come, come, I am waiting,

A A7

come let me hold you very near,

D G

we'll build a bower among the flowers

A D

growing down in Dixieland. + CHORUS
