Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Words by Otto Harbach, Music by Jerome Kern, 1933
Recorded by The Platters,1958 (#1)
From the 1933 musical "Roberta," starring Bob Hope
E E+7 E7 F#m7
They asked me how I knew
B7 E E+ A
My true love was true;
Gdim Edim E6
I of course replied,
E E+7 F#m7
"Something here inside
B7 E C#m A B7
Cannot be denied."
E E+7 E7 F#m
They said, "Someday you'll find
B7 E E+ A
All who love are blind.
Gdim Edim E6
When your heart's on fire,
E E+7 F#m7
You must re-al-ize
B7 E Am7 E G G7
Smoke gets in your eyes."
Bridge:
C C/B Am7
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
Am7/G G Gdim G G7
To think they could doubt my love
C C/B Am7
Yet today my love has flown away,
Am7/G E E+7 F#m7 B7
I am without my love.
E E+7 E7 F#m
Now laughing friends deride
B7 E E+ A
Tears I cannot hide;
Gdim Edim E6
So I smile and say,
E E+7 F#m
"When a lovely flame dies,
B7/9 B7 E F#m E C#m
Smoke gets in your eyes."
Coda:
A AM7 Am7 Am7/G E
Smoke gets in your eyes.
