		BASIC CHORD PATTERNS HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN BLUES IN C MOON RIVER Remember that Henry Mancini wrote Moon River in 3/4 or "waltz" time. So make sure you play it: ONE two three ONE two three ONE two three ONE two three... The tenor guitar sounds great in the key of F, and with this song you not only get the open strings ringing, but you have to go up the neck and work your way back down to get, what are essentially piano voicing or orchestral type voicing, which is another reason why "four is more". You cannot get this type of movement on a traditional guitar. Our fingers are not long enough to be able to stretch from the bottom of the guitar to the top. On the tenor guitar such voicing are easily possible. I think that after you strum "Moon River" a few times you'll will appreciate, even more, what a great instrument you have.
		Moon river wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Old dream maker you heart breaker where ever you're going I'm going your way. Two drifters off to see the world there's such a lot of world to see We're af ter the same rainbow's end Waitin' round the bend my huckleberry friend Moon River and me. LYRICS Moon River Wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style Some day.... Old dream maker You heart breaker Wherever you're going I'm going your way... Two drifters Off to see the world There's such a lot of world To see... We're after the same rainbow's end Waiting round the bend My Huckleberry friend Moon River and me... (music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Johnny Mercer) chord arrangement 2001, Mark Josephs
