YOU CAN PLAY ALONG WITH KING HARVEST IN GCEA TUNING, if you put your capo on the 1st fret EXCEPT in the intro. In the second line, 4th bar of the intro, to play with the video you'd have to play Db and Gb chords instead of D and A.
"Dancing in the Moonlight" was written by Sherman Kelly, produced by Jack Robinson, originally recorded in 1970 by Kelly's band Boffalongo, and then successfully released as a single by King Harvest in 1972, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sherman Kelly's brother Wells Kelly introduced the song to the Paris-based band King Harvest in which he was drummer, and former Boffalongo member Dave "Doc" Robinson was lead vocalist, bassist and keyboardist. King Harvest recorded and released "Dancing in the Moonlight" as a single with "Lady, Come On Home" on the B-side in 1972. Steve Cutler, a jazz drummer from New York City, played drums on the tracks and toured France and the UK with the band. The group disbanded after six months and the single languished for a year until it was bought and released worldwide by Perception Records. In Canada, the song reached number 5 in the weekly charts and number 71 in the year-end chart for 1973.
