That's Amore

Words & Music by Harry Warren & Jack Brooks
Recorded by Dean Martin, 1953 (#2)


  Am                   Dm
In Napoli where love is King, 

                Am                     E7
When boy meets girl, here's what they say:



E7   E6   A         A9   A      A9  A       A9  A            
When the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza pie,

         E7
That's amore;

    E7sus4 E        E7sus4  E        E7sus4  E     E7sus4  E
When the world seems  to  shine like you've had too much wine,

E7sus4  E     A
That's  a -  more.


E7          A
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

                       E7
And you'll sing "Vita bella."

E7
Hearts'll play tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-tay

                A
Like a gay tarantella.


E7   E6   A        A9    A            A9    A    A9    A
When the stars make you drool joost-a like pasta fa - zool,

         E7
That's amore;

    E7sus4  E        E7sus4   E        E7sus4    E    E7sus4 E
When  you  dance down  the  street with   a   cloud at your feet, 

           F#m
You're in love;

          D                       Dm                           A
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreamin', signore,

E7                                                   A
'Scusa me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that's amore.
