I'm Beginning To See The Light

Words & Music by Don George, Johnny Hodges, Duke Ellington and Harry James
Recorded by Harry James, 1945 (#1)


  D6          Fdim A7  D        D6
I never cared much for moonlit skies,

  Dm6        G6      Dm6   Gm7
I never wink back at fire flies, 

     D            F#m      B7
But now that the stars are in you eyes,

      G/B        A7  A7+5  D     A7
I'm beginning to see the  light. 


D6          Fdim A7  D      D6
I never went in  for afterglow 

   Dm6         G6      Dm6  Gm7
Or candlelight on the mistletoe,

    D            F#m      B7
But now when you turn the lamp down low,

       G/B        A7  A7+5  D
I'm beginning to see the light. 


Bridge:

F#7
Used to ramble through the park 

F7
Shadow boxing in the dark;

E7
Then you came and caused a spark 

          Bb7             A7
That's a four-alarm fire now. 


D6          Fdim  A7  D       D6
I never made love by lantern shine, 

  Dm6        G6      Dm6   Gm7
I never saw rainbows in my wine, 

    D             F#m      B7
But now that your lips are burning mine,

      G/B        A7  A7+5  D
I'm beginning to see the light.
