Our Love Is Here to Stay

Words & Music by George & Ira Gershwin
Recorded by Nat "King" Cole, 1950

           F   Fm
It's very clear

Fdim         G7      C   C/B   Am  
Our love is here to stay

    Am/G   Dm7 G        G+         E7   Bm7-5   E7
Not for a year,    but ever and a day

       F            Dm7
The radio and the telephone   

        C      C/B      Am
And the movies that we know 

            F                      Dm7      G#7  G7
May just be passing fancies and in time may go



          F       Fm
But oh my dear 

    Fdim     G7       C   C/B   Am7   Am7/G
Our love is here to stay

          Dm7   G       G+        E7   Bm7-5   E7
Together we're going a long long way

            F              G
In time the Rockies may crumble, 

              C          Am
Gibraltar may tumble--

  F                  Fm     Fdim
They're only made of clay,  but

     C       A7       G        Fdim    Dm7    G#7   G7
Our love is here to  stay.



(instrumental interlude --first 2 lines of last verse)

             F                  G
In time the Rockies may crumble, 

 C            Am
Gibraltar may tumble--

  F                  Fm     Fdim
They're only made of clay,  but

C    A7      G  Fdim  C      A7     G#7  G7
Our love is here to,    our love is here to

Dm7          G   Dm7   C   Fdim   C
Our love is here to  stay.
