Lyrics

The (C)moon be longs to ev ’ry one,

(G7)the (C)best things in (Em7)life (Ebm7)are (Dm7)free.

The (Dm7)stars be long to ev ’ry one,

they gleam there for you (Db9)and (C)me.

(G7)The (C7)flow ers in spring,

the (F)rob ins that sing,

the (D7)sun beams that shine,

they’re (Dm7)yours,

they’re (G9)mine!

And (C)love can come to (F)ev ’ry one:

the (Dm7)best things in (D)life (G7)are (Cmaj7)free.

The (C)moon be longs to ev ’ry one,

(G7)the (C)best things in (Em7)life (Ebm7)are (Dm7)free.

The (Dm7)stars be long to ev ’ry one,

they gleam there for you (Db9)and (C)me.

(G7)The (C7)flow ers in spring,

the (F)rob ins that sing,

the (D7)sun beams that shine,

they’re (Dm7)yours,

they’re (G9)mine!

And (C)love can come to (F)ev ’ry one:

the (Dm7)best things in (D)life (G7)are (Cmaj7)free.

The (C)free.
