Verse:
Em7 F#m7/E [implied by melody]
Here I go 'round again
Em7 F#m7/E
Think I hear the bells resound again
Em7 F#m7/E
Ringing as they never have before
Em7 F#m7/E
With melodies that I cannot ignore
Am7 Bm7/A
Modulating just a step or two
C/A D/A B7
[3/8]
Every single time I lay my eyes on you
Am7 Bm7
I'm getting high, I think
Am7 Bm7
But I haven't had a thing to drink
Am7 Bm7
At the insistence of the court
Am7 Bm7
I hear it's getting me very dizzy
Dm7 Em7
I hear conversions all so crazy 'round the room is
F G E
Spinning in a groovy 6/8 time
Chorus:
Amaj7 Cmaj7
[5/8] ..............
Like these notes you seem to be everywhere
Bm7 Bbmaj7
No matter where I go I seem to see you standing there
[next two lines are in 6/8 first time, 5/8 second time]
A7sus4/E A7
Then things start swinging
G7sus4/D G7
Bells start their ringing
F7sus4/C F7 E
Life has new meaning for me
Recorder solo:
Em7 [4X]
/ / / / / /
Dm7 Em7 F G E
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
Em7 F#m7/E
Here I go round again
Think that I am never comin' down again
From this crazy spin that I am in again
Again (again) again (again)...
[celeste quotes "Loveliest Night Of The Year"; fade]
