Intro Verse
A A7 D Dm6 A F#m D9 E
I caught you, sir, having a look at her, as she went strolling by.
E7 A Edim D9 Cm7-5 E7
Now didn't your heart go "boom - boom - boom - boom - boom?"
E7 A Edim D9 Cm7-5 E7
Didn't you sigh, igh, igh - igh - igh - igh - igh?
A A7 D Dm6
I warn you, sir, never to dream of her,
A F#m D9 E
Just bid such thoughts be gone,
E7 A Edim D9 Cm7-5 E7 Bm7-5
Or it'll be boom, boom, boom - boom - boom - boom - boom,
A F#m D9 Cm7-5 E7
Boom - boom from then on.
Melody:
A F#7 D9 E7 A F#7 D9 E7
Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
A A7 D9 Dm6 A
Ever and ever fascinated by her,
D9 Dm6 A Edim D9 Bm7-5 E7
Sets your heart afire to stay.
A F#7 D9 E7 A F#7 D9 E7
Once you're kissed by Amy, tear up your list it's Amy
A A7 D9 Dm6 A
Ply her with bonbons, po - et - ry, and flowers,
D9 Dm6 A F7
Moon a million hours away.
D9 Bm7-5 E7 Fdim D9 Dm6 D9 Dm6 F7
You might be quite the fickle-hearted ro - ver so carefree and bold
D9 Bm7-5 E7 Fdim D9 Dm6 D9 F#7 E
Who loves a girl and later thinks it o - ver then just quits cold.
A F#7 D9 E7 A F#7 D9 E7
But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
A A7 D9 Dm6 A
Ever and ever sweetly you'll romance her,
D9 Dm6 A F#7
Trouble is the answer will be
D9 Bm7-5 E7 D9 A Bm7-5 A
That Amy'd rather stay in love with me.
