Polka Dots And Moonbeams Harmonica Tabs

(Jimmy Van Heusen, Johny Burke)

A coun-try dance was be-ing
1 -1 2 -2 3 -3 4
held in a gar-den
-3 3 -2 2 -1
I felt a bump and heard an
1 -1 2 -2 3 -3 4
“Oh, beg your par-don”
-5 4 -3* -3 3
Sud-den-ly I saw
-2 3 -2 3 -2
Pol-ka dots and moon-beams
-3 -3 3 -2 2 -1*
All a-round a pug-nosed dream
-1 -3* 3 -2 2 -5 4

The mus-ic start-ed and
1 -1 2 -2 3 -3
was I the per-plexed one
4 -3 3 -2 2 -1
I held my breath and said
1 -1 2 -2 3 -3
“May I have the next one?”
4 -5 4 -3* -3 3
In my fright-ened arms,
-2 3 -2 3 -2
Pol-ka dots and moon-beams
-3 -3 3 -2 2 -1*
Spark-led on a pug-nosed dream
-1 -3* 3 -2 2 -5 4

There were ques-tions
2 -2* 2 4*
in the eyes of oth-er danc-ers
6 -5* -5 4* -4 -3 3* 2
As we float-ed o-ver the floor
2 -2* -2* 3* 3* -3 4* 6
There were quest-ions
2 -2* 2 4*
but my heart knew all the an-swers
6 -5* -5 4* -4 -3 3* 2
And per-haps a few things more
-3 -4 -3 -3* 4 -3* 3

Now in a cot-tage built of
1 -1 2 -2 3 -3 4
li-lacs and laugh-ter
-3 3 -2 2 -1
I know the mean-ing
1 -1 2 -2 3
of the words “Ev-er af-ter”
-3 4 -5 4 -3* -3 3
And I’ll al-ways see
-2 3 -2 3 -2
Pol-ka dots and moon-beams
-3 -3 3 -2 2 -1*
When I kiss the pug-nosed dream
-1 -3* 3 -2 2 -3 -2
