Bm7      D7M      E7/13-  E7 
Under a blanket of blue 
A            C#m7   C#m5-/7    F#7      
Just you and  I   beneath the stars 
D7M            Bm7     E7/13                A    
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance 
C#m7  C#m5-/7   F#7 
The night    is ours 
Bm7      D7M      E7/13-  E7 
Under a blanket of blue 
A          C#m7     C#m5-/7        F#7      
Let me be thrilled by all your charms 
D7M       Bm7     E7/13    
Darling, I know my heart  
    Fdim       D9 Bm5-/7    A7M 
Will dance within    your arms 
Bridge 
   Em7           A7         D6    Fdim D6 
A summer nights magic, enthralling me so 
     B7        F#m7  B7 
The night would be tragic 
  Em7/9                 A7          A7/13 
If you weren't here to share it, my dear 
Bm7         D7M      E7/13-  E7 
Covered with heaven above 
A            C#m7     C#m5-/7     F#7      
Let's dream a dream of love for two 
D7M            Bm7           E7/13    Fdim    
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance 
  D9    Bm5-/7       A 
Under a blanket of blue
