Stella By Starlight

Words & Music by Ned Washington & Victor Young
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1946


G   Gdim  Edim   A7     Am7    D7
The song       a robin sings

        Dm7  Dm7-5   Fdim        C   C/B          
Through years      of endless springs,

Cdim G          Em      Bm            Gdim
The murmur of a brook at e-ven-tide

      D           Gdim           Am7            B7
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.

  Bm7-5  E7             Am7
A great     symphonic theme,

                  Cm7      Cm7-5            G9       G6
That's Stella by starlight       and not a dream.

   Gdim   Edim        Dm   E7
My heart      and I agree

               Cm7  Cm7-5                G  
She's ev'ry - thing         on earth to me.



Repeat preceding as instrumental:


   Bm7-5 E7            Am7
A great     symphonic theme,

                 Cm7       Cm7-5            G9      G6
That's Stella by starlight       and not a dream.

   Gdim  Edim        Dm    E7
My heart      and I agree

               Cm7    Cm7-5             G    G/F#  Em
She's ev'ry - thing         on earth to me.

              Cm7-5  D9      Am7  D7 G  G/F#-Em  D9  Am7  Cdim  G6
She's ev'ry - thing      on earth to me.
