Capo I for the original key of Eb
Not easy to take an old jazz standard and arrange it for just guitar. This version uses a lot of open
chords and is played near the nut so you can capo for your voice. The Em7 I suggest will give a softer, more
mellow sound than the usual Em7.

Intro
[D6] [Em7] [A7] [D6]
My story is much too sad to be told,
[Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [Em7] [A7] [D6]
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
[D6] [Em7] [A7] [F#maj7] [D#m7]
The only exception I know is the case
[G#m7] [C#7] [F#maj7] [D#m7]
When I'm out on a quiet spree,
[G#m7] [C#7b9] [F#m7]
Fighting vainly the old ennui,
[B7] [Em7] [A7] [D6] [C#7b9] [E9] [A7b9]
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.
Verse
[Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [F#m7]
I get no kick from champagne.
[Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [F#m7] [B7b9]
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
[B7b9] [Em7] [A7] [Am/F#] [B7]
So tell me why should it be true
[B7b9] [Em7] [A7] [D6]
That I get a kick out of you?
Verse
[Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [F#m7] [B7b9]
Some—they may go for cocaine.
[Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [F#m7] [B7b9]
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
[B7b9] [Em7] [A7] [Am/F#] [B7]
It would bore me terrifically, too.
[B7b9] [Em7] [A7] [D6]
Yet I get a kick out of you.
Bridge
[Am7] [D9] [Am7] [D7]
I get a kick every time I see
[Am/F#] [B7b9] [B7]
You standing there before me.
[Em7] [C#m7b5] [Am/F#] [B7b9]
I get a kick though it's clear to see
[E9] [Em7] [A7]
You obviously don’t adore me.
Verse
[Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [F#m7] [B7b9]
I get no kick in a plane.
[Em7] [A7] [Dmaj7] [F#m7] [B7b9]
Flying too high With some gal in the sky
[B7b9] [Em7] [A7] [Am/F#] [B7]
Is my idea of nothing to do.
[B7b9] [Em7] [A7] [D6]
Yet I get a kick—um,
[Em7] [A7] [D6]
You give me a boot
Outro
[B7b9] [Em7] [A7] [D6]
I get a kick out of you.
