Am A9 Am Dm7 Bm7-5 Am E7
There may be trou - ble a - head,
Am A9 Am Dm7 A Bm7-5 E7
But while there's moon - light and mu - sic,
Asus4 A A9 Amaj7
And love and ro - mance,
D6 Dm6 E7 Am Bb9 E7
Let's face the mu - sic and dance.
Am A9 Am Dm7 Am Bm7-5 E7
Be - fore the fid - dlers have fled,
F7 B7 Bm7-5 E7
Be - fore they ask us to pay the bill,
C#m7-5 F#7 C#7
And while we still have the chance,
D6 Dm6 Fdim E7 A
Let's face the mu - sic and dance.
(Bridge:)
F Dm7 C7 F C7
Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Dm7 C7 F C7 F7 E7
Humming a different tune, and then,
Am A9 Am Dm7 Am Bm7-5 E7
There may be tear - drops to shed,
Am A9 Am Dm7 A Bm7-5 E7
So while there's moon - light and mu - sic,
Asus4 A A9 Amaj7
And love and ro - mance,
D6 Dm6 E7 Am Dm7 Dm7-5 Bb9 Amaj7
Let's face the mu - sic and dance.
This song was introduced by Fred Astaire in the 1936 movie "Follow the
Fleet" -- and in the minds of many, the song is his. I just happen to love
what Cole did with his version.
As a performance note, the opening line can be drastically simplified, and
played this way without losing too terribly much:
Am Dm7 E7
There may be teardrops to shed
...but as always, I like to complicate my life whenever possible, and the
version I show in the full chart comes pretty close to duplicating what
Cole sings.
