              D7M    G6/9   Em7  A7 
Emily, Emily, Emily 
Em7 A7  D6         D9   D7/9  G     Gdim 
Has the murmuring sound  of  May 
A   B             G#7           C#m7     F#7 
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels 
        Bm7     Bm7/E  E7    E7/13   A7   A7/13- Gdim A7/13- 
And the laughter of   children  at  play     they  say 
 D7M    G6/9   Em7     A7 
"Emily, Emily, Emily" 
Em7 A7  D   D9 D D7   D7/9   D    G 
And  we  fade  to  a  marvelous  view 
Gdim Bm   F#7 Em7  F#m Fdim F#m  B7 
Two  lovers  alone  and  out  of  sight 
Cdim B7 G    G/F# Em7 A  A7  Cdim B7 
Seeing  images         in the firelight 
A7    G    G/F#  A7  G  F#m   B7 
As my eyes visualize a family 
Cdim B7   Em7      A7     D 
They see dreamily, Emily 
Interlude: Em7 A7 D D9 D D7/9 D G Gdim Bm F#7 Em7 F#m Fdim F#m B7 
A7    G    G/F#  A7  G  F#m  B7 
As my eyes visualize a family 
Cdim B7   Em7   A7    A7/13-  D G/B  A7/13- D6 
They see Emily, Emily,     too
