SMOKE GETS In YOUR EYES
- as played by Platters (Capo on 3rd Fret)
[Verse 1]
C Dm7
They asked how I knew,
G7 C C+ F
my true love was true, oh, oh.
Cdim Cmaj7
I of course replied:
Am7 Dm7 G7 C
"Something here inside, cannot be denied".
[Break]
C Bbdim Dm7 G+
[Verse 2]
C Dm7
They said, some day you’ll find
G7 C C+ F
all whose love are blind, oh, oh.
Cdim Cmaj7
When your heart’s on fire,
Am7 Dm7 G7 C
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes.
[Bridge]
C F C D#7
[Chorus]
Ab
So I chaffed them and gaily laughed,
Abmaj7 Bbm7 Am7 Bb7 D#7
to think they could doubt my love.
Ab G7
Yet today, my love has flown away,
C Cmaj7 G7 G+
I am without my love.
[Verse 3]
C Dm7
Now laughing friends deride,
G7 C C+ F
Tears I cannot hide, oh, oh.
Cdim Cmaj7
So I smile and say:
Am7 Dm7
“When a lovely flame dies,
G7 C
Smoke gets in your eyes.
[Finale]
F
…in your eyes
C Fmaj C+
Smoke gets in your eyes
Dm7 Em/G Cmaj7
Smoke gets in your eyes
