Verse 1:

Bb          Gb7
I was on my way to Dr.
Bb    AbdimF7
Cupid
Bb           Gb
I was all up-set, I was in
Bb    DmBb7G7
doubt
Cm         F7
Suddenly I laughed with glee
Bb        D-7b5   G7
There was nothing wrong with me
C7                              F7   E7F7
For I guessed what it was all a-bout

Chorus:

F+       Bb A     Bb     Bbmaj7
Why does my heart miss a beat
Dbdim   F7
At some footsteps on the street,
Dbdim  F7                    F+
It's a precious little thing called
Bb   DbdimCm7F7
Love

F+     Bb A    Bb      Bbmaj7
Why am I  con- tent  a-lone
Dbdim  F7
When I know someone will phone
Dbdim  F7              C7
It's a precious little thing
F7     Bb   EbBb
Called love

        D7
I see a day in June, a wedding tune
  G9        G7
A honeymoon cruise
C7
Friends I know who will throw
     Eb           F7
Some rice and old shoes

F+         Bb  A     Bb       Bbmaj7
What's the one thing makes me say
Dbdim    F7
Heaven's just across the way
Dbdim  F7
It's a precious little thing
F+     Bb   C7Gb7F7
Called love

Verse 2:

Bb             Gb7
Skies are very blue now that I've
Bb      AbdimF7
met you
Bb                    Gb
Day and night there's joy in all my
Bb     DmBb7G7
dreams
Cm               F7
Flowers tell the birds and bees
Bb      D-7b5   G7
Now the birdies tell the trees
C7                             F7    E7F7
Any way that's just the way it seems
