for the guitar and piano

Dancing In The Moonlight

This song is often incorrectly thought to be written by a number of artists - Toploader, Van Morrison (who never actually recorded this song) and Elvis Costello. Although acheiving a top ten position by Toploader in the UK charts in 2000, the song was originally written by Sharman Kelly in 1968, and first recorded in 1970 by the American act, Buffalongo.
The song can be performed with just four chords (that repeat throughout). If you're feeling adventurous, try also playing the fifth chord - inversion chord Bb/D. "Dancing In The Moonlight" can also be played in D major, (with capo 1 for the guitar). Here the chords would look like this:- Em7 A D A/C# Bm

Dancing in the Moonlight can also be performed using a capo on the guitar (capo 2) and playing in D major. This is a little easier for the guitar as it involves less barre chords (leaving just the B minor to barre):-
