Lyrics
Deep music fills the night deep in the heart of (Dm)Harlem.
And though the stars are bright,
the (F)darkness is (F7)(E7)taunting (Am)me.
Oh, what a sad refrain, a nocturne born in (Dm)Harlem,
That melancholy strain (F)forever is (F7)(E7)haunting (Am)me.
(G13)The (C7)melody clings around my heart strings.
It won't let me go when I'm lonely.
I (F7)hear it in dreams, and somehow it seems it (C7)makes me weep and I can't (G7)sleep.
An (C7)Indigo tune a sings to the moon the lonesome refrain of a lover.
The (F7)melody sighs, it laughs and it cries,
a (C7)moon in blue that I can't (G7)sleep.
An walks the (Bb7)long night (Am)through.
Though when the dawn is gone the melody lives (Dm)ever for lonely hearts to learn
Of (F)love in a (F7)Harlem (E7)(Am)nocturne.
