The Platters – Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (Guitar)

C                   Dm7
They asked me how I knew,

G7               C     C+  F
my true love was true, oh, oh.

Cdim        Cmaj7
I of course replied:

Am7               Dm7   G7          C
"Something here inside, cannot be denied".

C                           Dm7
They said, "Some day you’ll find

G7               C      C+  F
all who love are blind" oh, oh.

Cdim                 Cmaj7
When your heart’s on fire,

Am7         Dm7   G7                 C
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes.

Ab
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed,

Abmaj7              Bbm7 Am7 Bb7 Eb7
to think they could doubt my love.

Ab                     G7
Yet today, my love has flown away,

     C      Cmaj7 G7 G+
I am without my love.

C                      Dm7
Now laughing friends deride,

G7             C     C+  F
Tears I cannot hide, oh, oh.

Cdim           Cmaj7
So I smile and say:

Am7                  Dm7
"When a lovely flame dies,

G7                 C
Smoke gets in your eyes."

         F
…in your eyes

C                  Fmaj C+
Smoke gets in your eyes

Dm7        Em/G    Cmaj7
Smoke gets in your eyes
