Verse 1:

D           A#7
I was on my way to Dr.
D     CdimA7
Cupid
D            A#
I was all up-set, I was in
D     F#mD7B7
doubt
Em         A7
Suddenly I laughed with glee
D         F#-7b5  B7
There was nothing wrong with me
E7                              A7   G#7A7
For I guessed what it was all a-bout

Chorus:

A+       D  C#    D      Dmaj7
Why does my heart miss a beat
Fdim    A7
At some footsteps on the street,
Fdim   A7                    A+
It's a precious little thing called
D    FdimEm7A7
Love

A+     D  C#   D       Dmaj7
Why am I  con- tent  a-lone
Fdim   A7
When I know someone will phone
Fdim   A7              E7
It's a precious little thing
A7     D    GD
Called love

        F#7
I see a day in June, a wedding tune
  B9        B7
A honeymoon cruise
E7
Friends I know who will throw
     G            A7
Some rice and old shoes

A+         D   C#    D        Dmaj7
What's the one thing makes me say
Fdim     A7
Heaven's just across the way
Fdim   A7
It's a precious little thing
A+     D    E7A#7A7
Called love

Verse 2:

D              A#7
Skies are very blue now that I've
D       CdimA7
met you
D                     A#
Day and night there's joy in all my
D      F#mD7B7
dreams
Em               A7
Flowers tell the birds and bees
D       F#-7b5  B7
Now the birdies tell the trees
E7                             A7    G#7A7
Any way that's just the way it seems
