Dear, when you smiled at me, I heard a mel - o - dy;

It haunted me from the start.

'Twas like a breath of spring; I heard a rob - in sing

'Bout a nest set a - part;

All na - ture seemed to be in per - fect har - mo - ny --

Zing! Went the strings of my heart.
Bridge:
Em7 A7 D D6
Your eyes made skies seem blue again;
Em7 A7 D D6
What else could I do again?
G#m7 C#7 D E7 A7 Bm7-5 Gdim A7
But keep repeating through and through, "I love you, love you."
D A7 Em7 D Bm7 F#7 Bm F#7
I still re - call the thrill -- I guess I al - ways will;
Em B+ Em7 Em6 A7 Edim G A7
I hope 'twil never depart.
G G/F# Em7 Em6 Gm Gdim Edim Gm7
Dear with your lips to mine, a rhap - so - dy di - vine
D Bm7 E7 A7 D
Zing! Went the strings of my heart.
