In the Still Of The Night

Words & Music by Cole Porter, 1937
Recorded by Julie London, 1965


E                   Em6
In the still of the night,

E                 Em6
As I gaze from my window

       F#m7         B7
At the moon in its flight

                  E  F#m7 B7
My thoughts all stray to you.


E                    Em6
In the still of the night,

E                     Em6 - Gdim
While the world is in slum - ber,

          G#m         G#m7
Oh, the times without number,

               G#m  Fdim(III) B7
Darling, when I say    to    you,



  E       A     F#m7  B7       E
"Do you love me     as I love you?

E    E+     A         B7     A     B7    E     E+7    E7
Are you my life to be,   my dream come true?"

              F#m           Am6         E
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight,

          E          Edim
Like the moon growing dim

       E          Fdim
On the rim of the hill

       F#m7     B7           E      Em6   B7
In the chill, still of the night.


(Instrumental interlude, 2nd verse)


E         A     F#m7  B7      E
"Do you love me     as I love you?

E    E+      A       B7      A    B7     E    E+7   E7
Are you my life to be,   my dream come true?"

               F#m          Am6          E
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight,

         E            Edim
Like the moon growing dim

       E          Fdim
On the rim of the hill

       F#m7    B7            E    Em6   A7/9   B7    E
In the chill, still of the night.


A song with the same title was recorded by The Five Satins, 1956 -- but it was written by the group's lead singer Fred Parris. The song this chart is based on was first recorded by Nelson Eddy in the 1937 movie "Rosalie."
