Moon River
by Henry Mancini (music) and Johnny Mercer (lyrics)
(from the film, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”)

Capo II or as desired; this is written to be easy to play on the guitar. I read somewhere
that Miss Hepburn sang it in F, but I don't know if that is correct. Not in the original key, 
which is much higher. 
The vertical lines indicate bars.
