'Round Midnight
Words & Music by Bernie Hanighen, Thelonious Monk & Cootie Williams
Recorded by Julie London, 1960
Dm Bm7-5 Em7-5 A7
It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight;
Dm7 G7 Bbm7 Gdim Am7 D7
I do pretty well 'til af - ter sun - down
Gm7 C7 Dm Dm+7
Supper time, I'm feelin' sad,
Fdim G7 Bb7 A7
But it really gets bad 'round mid - night.
Dm Bm7-5 Em7-5 A7
Mem'ries always start 'round midnight, 'round midnight;
Dm G7 Bbm7 Gdim Am7 D7
Haven't got the heart to stand those mem - 'ries;
Gm7 C7 Dm Dm+7
When my heart is still with you,
Fdim G7 A7 Dm Dm+7
And old midnight knows it too.
Bridge:
Bm7-5 E7-9 A7
When some quarrel we've had needs mending
Bm7-5 E7-9 A7
Does that mean that our love is ending?
Gm7 C7 Bb7 A7
Darling, I need you; lately I find
D7 C7 Bb7 A7
You're out of my arms and I'm out of my mind.
Dm Bm7-5 Em7-5 A7
Let our love take wing some midnight, 'round midnight;
Dm G7 Bbm7 Gdim Am7 D7
Let the angels sing for your re - turn - ing;
Gm7 C7 Dm Dm+7 Bbm9
Let our love be safe and sound
Fdim G7 Bb7 A7 Dm
When old midnight comes a - round.
