C    C/B  Am7      Am7/G  Em
Love          is a many splendored thing;

Gm7  C7    F    F6        FM7  Dm6         Am
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring.

Dm6     Am       Dm7     Am7     Dm6           E7
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living,

     Am     Am7       B7      F#m7 B7  E      G7
The golden crown that makes a man  a  king.


C  C/B  Am7      Am7/G     Em
Once,       on a high and windy hill,

Gm7 C7  F          FM7        F6    F             Em7           A9
In  the moonlight mist, two lovers kissed and the world stood still.

 Em7        A7      Dm   Dm7 Dm6     E7+5
Then your fingers touched my silent heart

     A7+5      A7     D7  Bb9
And taught it how to sing;


(First time)

Fdim   C   Am     Dm7         G          C     Dm7    G7
Yes,  true love's    a many splendored thing.


(Last time)

Fdim   C   Am    Dm7          G          C    Dm7   Fdim   C
Yes,  true love's    a many splendored thing.
