Sway

Words & Music by Pablo Beltran Ruiz & Norman Gimbel
Recorded by Dean Martin, 1954 (#15)


Am            Am7     Dm   Am7 E7    Dm   Am7  E7  Am   E7  Am
When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me, make me sway;

Am          Am7    Dm   Am7 E7    Dm   Am7  E7   Am   E7  Am
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more.



Am            Am7     Dm   Am7 E7    Dm   Am7  E7  Am   E7  Am
Like a flower bending in the breeze, bend with me, sway with ease;

Am                Am7    Dm  Am7  E7     Dm  Am7  E7  Am   E7  Am
When we dance you have a way with me -- stay with me, sway with me.



Bridge:


      Am7         G                                       C
Other dancers may be on the floor, dear, but my eyes will see only you;

                   E7                                   Am
Only you have the magic technique --- when we sway I go weak.



Am     Am7               Dm  Am7  E7    Dm  Am7  E7   Am E7   Am
I can hear the sounds of vi - o - lins long be - fore it be - gins

Am        Am7          Dm   Am7 E7     Dm   Am7  E7     Am  E7 Am
Make me thrill as only you know how -- sway me smooth, sway me now




Coda:

Dm   Am7  E7   Dm  Am7  E7     Am  E7 Am
You know how, sway me smooth, sway me now.
