Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
Words & Music by Al Dubin & Joe Burke
Recorded by Ruth Etting, 1930 (#1)
Intro Verse:
[D7] [G] [D7] [G] [D7]
Those who dance and romance while they dance --
[G] [Edim] [Am7]
They seem so happy and gay;
[Am] [Am]+7 [Am7] [Am6]
Though they sing while they swing and they sway,
[A] [Gdim] [Cdim] [D] [D9] [D7]
Somehow I can't feel that way.
[G] [Cdim] [Am7] [G] [G6]
I've been dancing with tears in my eyes,
[D7] [G] [Edim] [Am7] [D9]
'Cause the boy in my arms wasn't you;
[Am] [Am]+7 [Am7] [Am6]
Dancing with somebody new,
[D9] [D7] [Edim] [G]
When it's you that my hearts calling to.
[Am] [Dm] [Am] [E7]
Trying to smile, once in a while,
[Am] [Am]+7 [D] [D7]
But I find that so hard to do.
[Am7] [D] [G] [Cdim] [Am7] [G] [G]/[F#] [E7]
I've been dancing with tears in my eyes,
[C] [Cdim] [Am7] [D7] [G]
'Cause the boy in my arms was - n't you.
