I Was Telling Him About You
Words & Music by Bill Charlap & Don George
Recorded by Nancy Wilson, 1973
DM7 E7 C#7 F#m
My arms were around him, my eyes were aglow,
D9 E7-9 C#m7-5 F#7
The moment was tender, the music was low;
D9 Bm7-5 E7/6 Fdim AM7 C#7 F#7
But while we were danc - ing, I think you should know
D9 Bm7-5 Fdim E7/6
I was telling him a - bout you.
DM7 E7 C#7 F#m
He kept coming closer, the magic was there;
D9 E7-9 C#m7-5 F#7
He wore an expression that made people stare.
D9 Bm7-5 E7/6 Fdim AM7 C#7 F#7
It looked so romantic, but Darling, I swear,
D9 Bm7-5 Fdim E7
I was telling him about you.
Bridge:
Cdim Dm7 G CM7 Am7
When you passed by, and caught my eye,
Dm7 Fdim E7-9 CM7
You didn't say a word;
Em7 B7 Emsus4 B+
You turned about and walked right out,
D9 Bm7-5 E7 D9 E7
And the silence was the loudest I've ev - er heard.
DM7 E7 C#7 F#m
Come back to me, Darling, I must make you see
D9 E7-9 C#m7-5 F#7
That things aren't always what they seem to be.
D9 Bm7-5 Fdim AM7 C#7 F#7
The boy in my arms meant nothing to me --
D9 Bm7-5 E7 A
I was telling him about you.
