SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES
as played by The Platters (Capo on 3rd fret)
Verse 1
[C] [Dm7]
They asked me 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 who 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.
Break
[C] [F] [C] [Eb7]
Bridge
[Ab]
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed,
[Abmaj7] [Bbm7] [Am7] [Bb7] [Eb7]
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
