Dm

| E7 .
Am .
If your path at midnight dark by a graveyard goes,
| Am
.
Dm Am
| E7
.
Am
.
And someone whistles, "Whoo-oooo!" That's My-sterious Mose!
| Am
.
Dm
.
| E7
.
Am
.
Or on some dark and stormy night, while the tempest blows,
| Am
.
Dm
Am | E7
.
Am

If someone whistles, "Whoo-ooo!" That's My-sterious Mose!

.
Some night, he might wait for you u-pon the stair!

| Am

So when you're going down the cellar, walk u-pon your toes,
| Am
.
Dm Am | E7
.
Am
.
If someone whistles, Whoo-ooo!" That's My-sterious Mose!
