Bm7      Dalt      E7+5  E7
Under a blanket of blue,

A            C#m7   C#m7-5    F#7     
Just you and  I   beneath the stars.

Dalt           Bm7     E7/6                A   C#m7  C#m7-5   F#7
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance, the night    is ours.


Bm7      Dalt      E7+5  E7
Under a blanket of blue,

A          C#m7     C#m7-5      F#7     
Let me be thrilled by all your charms,

Dalt       Bm7     E7/6       Fdim         D9 Bm7-5  A
Darling, I know my heart will dance with - in your arms;



Bridge:

   Em7           A7         D6    Fdim D6
A summer nights magic, enthralling me  so.

     B7        F#m7  B7
The night would be tragic,

  Em7/9                 A7          A7/6
If you weren't here to share it, my dear


Bm7         Dalt      E7+5  E7
Covered with heaven above,

A            C#m7     C#m7-5    F#7     
Let's dream a dream of love for two,

Dalt           Bm7     E7/6    Fdim     D9    Bm7-5       A
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance, under a blanket of blue.
