Angel Eyes
Words & Music by Earl K. Brent & Matt Dennis, 1946Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1958*
C7 F G7 CM7 Am
Hey, drink up, all you people,
F7 G7 CM7 Am
And order anything you see;
Am Am+7 Am7 D
Have fun, you happy people --
F E7 Am Dm7 - E7
The drink and the laugh's on me.
Am Bb9 Am F7
Try to think that love's not around,
Am Dm Dm7 E7
Still it's uncomfortably near;
Am D9 Am Bb9
My poor old heart ain't gainin' no ground
Am Bb9 E7 Am
Because my angel eyes ain't here.
Am Bb9 Am F7
Angel eyes, the old Devil sent,
Am Dm Dm7 E7
They glow unbearably bright;
Am D9 Am Bb9
And need I say that my love's misspent,
Am Bb9 E7 Am
Misspent with angel eyes tonight?
F G7 CM7 Am
So drink up, all of you people,
F G7 CM7 Am
Order anything you see;
Am Am+7 Am7 D
Have lots of fun, you happy people --
Am Am+7 Bb9 E7
The drink and the laugh's on me.
Am Bb9 Am F7
Pardon me, but I gotta run --
Am Dm Dm7 F7 E7
The fact's uncommonly clear.
Am D9 Am Bb9
I gotta find who's now the number one
Am Bb9 E7 Am
And why my angel eyes she ain't here.
Dm Dm7 Bb9 E7 Am
'Scuse me while I dis - ap - pear.
*This is the song Sinatra used to "retire" from performing on June 13, 1971.
