[Chorus]

Chorus is the same progression as the verse.
A A few chords online have a D D thrown in but sounds fine without it in my opinion.
I didn't add the strumming pattern, cause if you can play this,
you'll be able to figure that out by just listening to the song.

About this song: Dancing In The Moonlight

This uptempo, slightly jazzy number was clearly influenced by Van Morrison, of whom Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott was a big fan. One of Morrison's famous songs is "Moondance."The subtitle was added by the band's American record company, Mercury, to distinguish it from the King Harvest song with the same title released four years earlier.
