Introdução: Em7 G/B  A7 Em7 D6 F#m Bm9 Em7 A7 
 
Em7    G/B      Gm7        A7      D     D6   Cdim   
They say that falling in love is wonderful 
     G/B      G/Bb   A7       D9 G A7 
It's wonderful,      so they say 
Em7   G/B    Gm7     A7           D     D6   Cdim 
And with a moon up above, it's wonderful 
     G/B       G/Bb   A7   D9  D  D9 D7 
It's wonderful,   so they tell me 
  G                Gm7     Gdim 
I can't recall who said it 
   D      D6   F#m        F#m7 
I know I never read it 
   Bm    Bm7       Cdim         C#7      F#m 
I only know they tell me that love is grand 
Bb9   Em7       G/B         Gm7         A7          
And   the thing that's known as romance  
   F#m     F#m7          B7 
Is wonderful, wonderful 
Em7  G/B   A7   Em7     D6 F#m  Bm9 Em7 A7 
In ev'ry way, so they say 
Em7       G/B       Gm7        A7      D     D6   Cdim 
   You'll find that falling in love is wonderful 
     G/B       G/Bb   A7       D9  G A7 
It's wonderful,       so they say 
    G          Gm7          Gdim          D      D6       F#m     F#m7 
To leave your house some morning, and without any warning 
       Bm       Bm7    Cdim           C#7             F#m 
You're stopping people shouting that love is grand 
Bb9   Em7   G/B       Gm7             A7     F#m   F#m7    B7 
And    to hold the girl in your arms is wonderful,  wonderful 
Em7  G/B   A7   Em7     D6 Cdim Gm7 A7 A7/13-  D6   
In ev'ry way, so they say
