“Some thing here in

(A7)can not be de (D)nied.”

(D)They

(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

(Bb)Yet to day,

my love has flown a way.

I (A7)am with (D)out
