      D Bm Em7     A9      Em7   D    Bm7  Em7  
At last       my love has come along 
     A7M    A7        D       Bm7  Em7  
My lonely days are over  
     Gdim    A7      D     Bm  Gdim  A9 A7 
And life is like a song  
    D   Bm  Em7       A9    Em7       D  Bm7 Em7  
At last          the skies above are blue 
   A7M      A7         D        Bm7      Em7  
My heart was wrapped in clover  
    Gdim    A7        D       Gm Gdim D  
The night I looked at you  
 
Bridge  
 
  A7    D7 G7M      Gdim   Dm7        D6

A dream that I can call my own  
  Bm6      Dm6       E7       Am7     A6  
I found a thrill to press my cheek to  
D  Bm7       Cdim     A       Em7  A7 
A thrill I've, I never known  
           D     Bm  Em7     A9        Em7       D    Bm7  Em7  
You smiled          and then the spell was cast  
    A7M    A7     D          Bm7 Em7  
And here we are in heaven 
            Gdim A7  D      Bm Em  Gdim  A7  
For you are mine at last

You, you, you  smiled          and then the spell was cas
