WillH (inactive)	Lyr Req: Miserlou (63* d)	ADD: Miserlou	11 Jul 00
Here are the lyrics that I have. They go with the second part of the melody. If there are lyrics for the first part of the melody, I have never seen them. A lot of people think that this is an old Middle Eastern folksong, but it was a popular song, written in 1941, by R.N. Roubanis. Harry James had a hit with it in 1941, Jan August(xylophonist) had a hit in 1951, and Leon Berry (Organist) had a hit in 1953. All of them were instrumentals. Xavier Cugat also played the song, while people danced the Rhumba. The chords are: (First Part) D/D/D/D/D (2x) D#/D#/D/D (2x) (Second Part) Gm/Gm/F/F/ Eb/Eb7/D/D D#7/D#7/D/D(2x) D#/D#/D/D You Miserlou Are the moon, And the Sun, Fairest one! Old temple bells Are calling across the sand We'll find our Kismet Answering love's command. You Miserlou, Are a dream Of delight In the Night! To an oasis sprinkled by stars above Heaven will guide us, Allah will bless our love! Ah, Ah, Miserlou!
