(D)They

asked me how I (Em)knew

(A7)my true love was (D)true.

(G#dim)I, of course, re (D)plied,

“Some thing here in

(A7)can not be de (D)nied.”

(D)They

said, “Some day you’ll (Em)find

(A7)all who love are (D)blind.

(G#dim)When your heart’s on (D)fire,

you must re al

(A7)smoke gets in your (D)eyes.”

(Bb)So I chaffed

them and I gai ly laughed,

to think they could (F)doubt

(Fdim)my

(F)love.

(Bb)Yet to day,

my love has flown a way.

I (A7)am with (D)out

(D#dim7)my

(Em7)love.

(D)Now

laugh ing friends de (Em7)ride,

(A7)tears I can not (D)hide.

(G#dim)So I smile and (D)say,

“When a love ly flame (Em7)dies,

(A7)smoke gets in your (D)eyes.”
