no no , not tonight , not tomorrow
everything’s gonna be alright ( sunny and bright )
wait and see if tomorrow we’ll be
as happy as we’re feeling tonight
we’ll go walking in the moonlight ( we’ll be happy )
walking in the moonlight

floating softly to where we lie
no more questions now
let’s enjoy tonight

D – Dsus4 – D – Dsus4 ( play around with these until the end )
just you and i
can’t you see that we’ve gotta be together
be together just you and i just you and i
no more questions just you and i

notes :

for the last line of the verse , where the chord progression goes like this : G – D – A/E
– D , i like to do a little fast picking on strings 4 – 6 ( low E to D ) , as the chord
progression sounds kind of awkward .
what i do is :
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 2 – – – |
B | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – |
G | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 2 – – – |
D | – – – – – – 0 – – – – – 0 – – – 2 – 0 – – – |
A | – – – – 2 – – – – – 0 – – – 0 – – – – – – – |
E | – – 3 – – – – – 2 – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

of course , these can be strummed , and then it would go [ 320xxx ] – [ 200xxx ] – [ x02xxx ] – [ xx0232 ]

another thing , i add the Asus4 to the third line of the verse , just for addEd color , but
it can easily be skipped .
