Recorded by Glenn Miller*, 1943 (#1)
E7 A E7/6 A D9 A E7/6 A
That old black magic has me in its spell,
E7 A E7/6 A D9 E7 Fdim E7
That old black magic that you weave so well.
E7 Fdim E7 D9 E7 Fdim E7
Those i - cy fin - gers up and down my spine,
A6 Cdim E7/9 Cdim A6 Cdim E7/9
The same old witch - craft when your eyes meet mine.
E7 A E7/6 A D9 A E7/6 A
The same old tingle that I feel in - side,
E7 A E7/6 A D9 E7 Fdim E7
And then that el - e - va - tor starts its ride.
D9 Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 A9 Fdim F#m F#m7/E
And down and down I go; round and round I go
D9 Dm6 Bbmaj7 Fdim A D9 A
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide.
(Bridge:)
Amaj7 F#m F#m7/E G#7
I should stay away, but what can I do?
C#7 F#7/6
I hear your name and I'm a - flame.
D9 Dm6
A - flame with such a burning desire
Bm7-5 Fdim E7
That only your kiss can put out the fire.
(E7) A E7/6 A D9 E7 A E7/6 A
For you're the lover I have wait - ed for,
A7 Em7 A7 Em7 Gdim D6 A7
The mate that Fate had me cre - a - ted for.
D9 D6 Dm6
And ev'ry time your lips meet mine,
D9 Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 A9 Fdim F#m F#m7/E
Darling, down and down I go; round and round I go
D D6 Dm6 Bm7-5
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
D9 Bm7-5 Dm6 E7 A
Under that old black magic called love.
*Fair's fair, so I'm crediting Glenn Miller here because he had a number
one hit with it -- even though it's practically impossible for anyone who
was alive in the middle third of the 20th century not to associate this
song with the furiously up-tempo version by Louis Prima and Keely Smith
(which, good as it was, just doesn't lend itself to duplication by a
finger-style rhythm guitarist...nor indeed by any musician who hasn't
ingested about 20 cups of coffee first.)
