Song Help Request Help me proofread this song: "The Cheiri"

I just found out how tuning apps can aid with figuring out chords.
Among the oozing overdose of notes I got from this awesome song:



....I figured it out so far:


[A][F][A][G][A][F][A][G]

In the [A]forest silver [F]moonlight
Lit the [A]branches like a [G]flame
And [A]drunk with Spring’s en[F]chantment,
Lightly [G7]down the path she [A]came
Her [A]voice trilled like a [F]nighting bird
As she [A]danced beneath the [G]moon.
I [A]longed to join her [F]madness,
And [G7]feared I would, too [A]soon.
[C]O[G7]n and [A]on,
through [C]starlight and [G7]shadow till [A]dawn.
[G]And [F]though I’ll not reg[G]ret her,
I [F]swear I’ll not for[G]get her too [A]soon. [F][A][G]
[A][F][A][G]

Her [A]face was pale in [F]moonlight,
As I [A]looked into her [G]eyes,
They were [A]soft and grey as [F]mist is
Up[G7]on the nighting [A]sky.
Her [A]fingers pale and [F]cool they were,
And up[A]on my body [G]played.
In the [A]ecstasy of [F]dreaming,
I [G7]loved her as we [A]lay.
O[C]n[G7] and [A]on,
[C]until the [G7]night was [A]gone.
[G]And [F]though I’ll not reg[G]ret her,
I [F]swear I’ll not for[G]get her too [A]soon. [F][A][G]
[A][F][A][G]

In the [A]forest silver [F]moonlight
Lights the [A]branches like a [G]flame.
And I’ll [A]stand beneath their [F]enchanted fire
Un[G7]til she comes a[A]gain.
I’ll [A]pine away for the [F]beauty
Of her [A]voice, her glowing [G]ease,
And her [A]silver silken [F]hair
That flowed ac[G7]ross me like a [A]breeze.
O[C]n[G7] and [A]on,
[C]I’ll wait un[G7]til she [A]comes.
[G]And [F]though I’ll not reg[G]ret her,
I [F]swear I’ll not for[G]get her too [A]soon. [F][A][G]
[A][F][A][G]
[A]


I'm a beginner, please be gently

Aloha Mira,
I think you both did a wonderful job and I enjoyed it very much....I really like the uke and guitar together....so it's a no brainer that it worked out so well..
I tried it out with the uke, and changed the chords to fit the uke better....it's a really nice song...Have Fun and Enjoy!!! Thanks for Sharing...MM Stan..

Hi Mira

I think you'll find that it's actually an Aminor chord being used and not Amajor...it's got that haunting minor key feel...beautiful song. Thanks for posting.

OK....the song has just got going, let me help you with the chords...I'll do it in the next post. eugene

just memorize those chord shapes Mira and you should be fine working out the rest of the song. Happy playing!!!

Eugene, thank you very very much these seem to fit really well.
Gonna add this to my songbook.
