Nat King Cole - Angel Eyes

lyrics by earl brent
music by matt dennis
recorded by nat king cole ( 1953 )

Am A#9 Am F7
try to think that love’s not around ,
Am Dm Dm7 E7
still it’s uncomfortably near
Am D9 Am A#9
my old heart ain’t gainin’ no ground
Am A#9 E7 Am
because my angel eyes ain’t here .

Am A#9 Am F7
angel eyes , the old devil sent ,
Am Dm Dm7 E7
they glow unbearably bright
Am D9 Am A#9
need i say that my love’s misspent ,
Am A#9 E7 Am
misspent with angel eyes tonight?

F G7 Cm7 Am
so drink up , all of you people ,
F G7 Cm7 Am
order anything you see;
Am Am+7 Am7 D
have fun , you happy people
Am Am+7 A#9 E7
the drink and the laugh’s on me .

Am A#9 Am F7
pardon me , but i gotta run
Am Dm Dm7 F7 E7
the fact’s uncommonly clear .
Am D9 Am A#9
gotta find who’s now the number one
Am A#9 E7 Am
and why my angel eyes ain’t here .

Am Am+7 Am7 D
have fun , you happy people
Am Am+7 A#9 E7
the drink and the laugh’s on me .

Am A#9 Am F7
pardon me , but i gotta run
Am Dm Dm7 F7 E7
the fact’s uncommonly clear
Am D9 Am A#9
gotta find who’s now the number one
Am A#9 E7 Am
and why my angel eyes ain’t here

Dm Dm7 A#9 E7 Am
excuse me while i disappear . . .
