Orange Colored Sky

Words & Music by Willie Stein & Milton DeLugg
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1945


E7    A       Edim   D9         Fdim E7
I was walking along, minding my business,

      A        Cdim           F#7
When out of an orange-colored sky,

Dalt  Cdim(IV) A    F#7  D          E7      A  E7
Flash!  Bam!   Alakazam! Wonderful you came by.


      A         Edim   D9         Fdim   E7
I was humming a tune, drinking in sun - shine,

      A           Cdim           F#7
When out of that orange-colored view,

Dalt  Cdim(IV) A    F#7  D        E7      A
Wham!   Bam!   Alakazam! I got a look at you.


Bridge;

D6          Cdim       F7      A             C#7    F#7
One look and I yelled "Timber! Watch out for flying glass!"

           B7                      Cdim 
'Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out,

       B7                 Cdim
I went into a spin, and I started to shout,

           E7          Bm7-5        E7
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it!"


       A       Edim   D9       Fdim   E7
I was walking along, minding my business,

      A           Cdim           F#7
When love came and hit me in the eye

Dalt  Cdim(IV) A    F#7  D         E7             A
Flash!  Bam!   Alakazam! out of an orange-colored sky.
