Old Devil Moon
Words & Music by E.Y. Harburg & Burton LaneRecorded by Frank Sinatra, 1955*
E D9 Bm7 E D Bm7 E
I looked at you and suddenly, something in your eyes I see
D9 Bm7-5 E E7
Soon begins bewitching me.
A A9 Am Am+7 Am7
It's that old devil moon That you stole from the sky,
C7 A B7 E
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
Bm7-5 E D9 Bm7 Fdim E
You and your glance make this romance too hot to handle;
AM7 C#m7-5 AM7 F#7 AM7 B7
Stars in the night blazin' their light can't hold a candle
A F#7 B7
To your razzle dazzle.
E D9 Bm7 E D Bm7 E
You've got me flyin' high and wide on a magic carpet ride,
D9 Bm7-5 E E7
Full of butterflies inside;
A A9 Am Am+7 Am7
Wanna cry, wanna croon, wanna laugh like a loon --
C7 A B7 E
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
Bm7-5 E D9 E
Just when I think I'm free as a dove,
Fdim E D9 E B7 E
Old devil moon deep in your eyes blinds me with love.
(Instrumental Interlude -- First 2 Lines of Verse)
E7 A A9 Am Am+7 Am7

Bm7-5 E D9 E
Just when I think I'm free as a dove,
Fdim E D9 E Bm7-5 E D9
Old devil moon deep in your eyes blinds me with love.

It blinds me with love.
