This song (Texts of songs ) is from the movie Breakfast At Tiffany's. It won the
Oscar for Best Song in 1961, and also Best Score. As you probably
know the song (Texts of songs ) was sung by Audrey Hepburn, and BTW her fingering
was spot on! :-)
All tab and lyrics are as I hear them in the film.
Verse1.
Moon River wider than a mile,
I'm crossin' you in style, some day.
Oh Dreammaker you heartbreaker,
Wherever your goin', I'm goin' your way.
Verse2.
Two drifters off to see the world;
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waitin' round the bend, my huckelberry friend.
Moon River and me.
Some of the tab for verse 2 is the same, so refer to the lyrics
above which are in the tab to see which order to play the tab in.
