[A7] [D] [A7] [G/B] [A7]+5 [D]
How lucky can one guy be;
[A7] [D] [A7] [G/B] [A7]+5 [D]
I kissed her and she kissed me
[A7] [D] [Bm7]
Like the fella once said,
[Bm7]-5 [Cdim] [E7]
Ain't that a kick in the head?
[Em] [Em]+7 [Em7] [Em6]
The room was completely black
[Em] [Em]+7 [Em7] [Em6]
I hugged her and she hugged back.
[Bm7]-5 [A7]
Like the sailor said, quote,
[Bm7]-5 [Gdim] [D] [DM7] [D7]
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
[D] [B7]
My head keeps spinning;
[E7]
I go to sleep and keep grinning;
[A7]
If this is just the beginning,
[Em7] [Gdim] [D] [Cdim] [A7] [A7+5]
My life's gonna be beau - ti -ful.
[A7] [D] [A7] [G/B] [A7]+5 [D]
I've sun- shine enough to spread;
[B7]
It's like the fella said,
[E7]
"Tell me quick
[A] [E7] [A] [D] [Cdim] [Em7] [A7]
Ain't love like a kick in the head?"
Instrumental Interlude: Lines 1 & 2 of verse
[A7] [D] [Bm7]
Like the fella once said,
[Bm7]-5 [Cdim] [E7]
Ain't that a kick in the head?
Instrumental Interlude: Lines 5 & 6 of verse
[Bm7]-5 [A7]
Like the sailor said, quote,
[Bm7]-5 [Gdim] [D] [DM7] [D7]
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
[D] [B7]
My head keeps spinning;
[E7]
I go to sleep and keep grinning;
[A7]
If this is just the beginning,
[Em7] [Gdim] [D] [Cdim] [A7] [A7+5]
My life's gonna be beau - ti -ful.
[A7] [D] [A7] [G/B] [A7]+5 [D]
She's telling me we'll be wed;
[B7]
She's picked out a king size bed.
[G] [A7] [B7]
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick;
[G] [G/F#] [Gm7]
Tell me quick, oh ain't love a kick?
[E7] [Bm7]-5 [A7] [Em7] [A7] [D] [A7] [Gdim] [Gm7] [D]
Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head?
