Teach Me Tonight
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Gene DePaul Recorded by Jo Stafford, 1953
Em7 A7 A7+5 D Gdim F#m
Did you say I've got a lot to learn?
B7 Em7 Bm7-5 A7
Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn.
B7 Em Em7 A7
Since this is a perfect spot to learn,
A7+5 D D6 Fdim A7
Teach me tonight.
Em7 A7+5 D Gdim F#m
Starting with the A-B-C of it,
B7 Em7 Bm7-5 A7
Right down to the X-Y-Z of it,
B7 Em Em7 A7
Help me solve the mystery of it -
A D Gdim D
Teach me tonight.
Bridge:
Em A7 A7+5 D D6
The sky's a blackboard high above you,
Em A7 A7+5 D Bm
And if a shooting star goes by,
Em E7 F#m
I'll use that star to write "I Love You"
Bm7-5 E7 A7
A thousand times across the sky.
Em7 A7 A7+5 D Gdim F#m
One thing isn't very clear, my love;
B7 Em7 Bm7-5 A7
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
B7 Em Em7 A7
Graduation's almost here, my love -
Em7 A7 D Cdim Em7 A7 D Gdim D
Teach me tonight, come on and teach me tonight.
