Words & Music by Carolyn Leigh & Cy Coleman

AM7         A7     D9           E7-9       AM7 F#m  D6 - Fdim - E7 - Bm7-5
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum;

AM7        A7      D9           Bm7-5       F#7  Gdim  F#7
You came along and everything's startin' to hum --

Bm            Bm7      Bm7-5      E7    E7/6     A    D9   A   A9
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come.


CM7     Am     Fdim            G7             C   Am7  Cdim  G7
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?

CM7               Am     Fdim          Em7            A7  Gdim  Fdim  A7
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine

 G7            Dm7     Fdim   G7  C             Dm7      Cdim   Am
Wait till the warm-up's underway, wait till our lips have met,

    G7            Dm7     Fdim     G7  
And wait till you see that sunshine day --

C              Dm7     C       E7
You ain't seen nothin' yet!

AM7         A7     D9            E7-9         F#7  C#m7-5  Bm7-5  F#7
The best is yet to come and babe won't it be fine?
 
     D      F#m     E7           Cdim  E7     A    D9   A
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine.


AM7     C#m7-5      F#7   E           Bm7-5         A
Come the day you're mine,   I'm gonna teach you to fly.

 A7         F#7        B7  E7             Cdim           A 
We've only tasted the wine -- we're gonna drain the cup dry.


CM7             Am        Fdim            G7          C   Am7  Cdim  G7
Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround

CM7               Am     Fdim          Em7              A7  Gdim  Fdim  A7
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground

G7                Dm7  Fdim G7           C          Dm7 Cdim  Am
Wait till you're locked in  my embrace, wait till I draw you near

G7            Dm7     Fdim       G7      C             Dm7      C    E7
Wait till you see that sunshine place -- ain't nothin' like it here.


    AM7     A7     D9            E7-9        F#7  C#m7-5  Bm7-5  F#7
The best is yet to come and babe won't it be fine?
 
    DM7    Cdim     E7           Cdim  E7     A    C#m7-5   F#7
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine.

     D6     F#m    Bm7-5         E7/6  E7     A    D9   A - E7 - A6
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine.
