I Thought About You

Words & Music by Johnny Mercer & Jimmy Van Heusen, 1939
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1956


C         B7       E7
I took a trip on a train 

A9     D9                Am7   D9
And I thought about you;

C#m7-5      Bm7-5     Em  E7
I   passed a shadowy lane

        Am               Gm7  C7
And I thought about you.

F            Am7         Dm7-5      Fm7
Two or three cars parked under the stars,

   C   G7     C   C/B
A wind-ing stream,

Gdim         B7      Cdim         B7
Moon shining down on some little town

     Em       Edim      Dm7       G7
And with each beam, the same old dream.


C          B7           E7                   
And every stop that we made, 

A9      D9                Am7     D9
Oh, I thought about you;

C#m7-5       Bm7-5     Em               
But I pulled down the shade 

E7     Am                Gm7   C7
Then I really felt blue.

  F                   Am7    Dm7-5         Fm7
I peeked through the crack, looked at the track,

    C          F7      D9  Cdim 
The one going back to you,


First Time:
 
    Dm7       Dm7-5 G7    Fdim         C   Am7   Dm7   G7
And what did I do?     I thought about you.


Last Time:
 
    Dm7      Dm7-5 G7      Fdim        C   Am7  Fm7   Dm7   C
And what did I do?     I thought about you.
