Chords

This is the 1953 bing crosby version in C. It's similar to the original 1939 benny goodman version, martha tilton on vocals, in Bb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOz0QZSHYCY Lyrics by johnny mercer. Both versions go to this weird break with riffs from hava nagila and can can. It's not a bad song, but a whole lot of 1 6 2 5. The bridge is long & 5m 1 for all except the last line. Em7-5 x7878x Fm7-5 x8989x [Intro] CM7 Dm7 CM7 Am7 Am+7 Dm7 CM7 CM7 Am7 Dm7 G13 Am7 G7+5 CM7 [Verse]

We meet,        and the angels sing.

G13        Dm7               G13         CM7   Am7 Dm7 G13
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard.

    CM7   Am7 Dm7        G13    CM7  Am7 Dm7
You speak,       and the angels sing.

G13     Dm7           G13  G7+5  CM7  Am7 FM7 G CM7
Or am I reading music into every word?
[Bridge]
Gm7           C7
Suddenly, the setting is strange.

Gm7                 C7
I can see water and moonlight beaming.

Gm7               C7
Silver waves that break on some

Gm7          C7
undiscovered shore then

Gm7         C7
Suddenly, I see it all change.

Gm7                         C7
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming.

FM7                 G13       G7+5 CM7  Am7 Dm7 G13
Through it all your face that I   adore.
[Verse]
    CM7   Am7  Dm7        G13    CM7   Am7 Dm7 G13
You smile,        and the angels sing.

                Dm7           G13           CM7   Am7 Dm7 G13
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start.

   CM7  Am7  Dm7        G13    Em7-5 Bb7 A7
We kiss,        and the angels sing.

                Dm7           Fm7-5 CM7
And leave their music ringing in my heart!
