We've Got A World That Swings
Words & Music by Louis Yule Brown & Lil Mattis
Recorded by Mel Torme, 1964
D A Gm7 Edim
Up at dawning, sleepy and yawning,
D C#m7-5 B7
Still the taste of wine;
Em7 A7 D6 B7
Then I remember you're mine, and
Em7 A7 D A7
I've got a world that's fine.
D A Gm7 Edim
What's before me? Routines that bore me,
D C#m7-5 B7
Punch the clock at eight;
Em7 A7 D6 B7
Then I remember you're mine,
Em7 A7 D
And I've got a world that's great.
Bridge:
F#7 Gdim F#7 Gdim Bm F#7 Bm
Atom bombs, Cape Kennedy, false alarms;
Bm7-5 E Cdim E7
Half the universe is up in arms,
Bm7-5 Fdim A G/B Cm7-5 E Cdim Gdim
So I flip a little, too, until I'm hold - ing you.
D A Gm7 Edim
What's the hassle? I'll buy the castle --
D C#m7-5 B7
We can live like kings.
Em7 A7 D6 B7
If we're together for - ev - er,
Em7 A7 F#m7 B7
I've got a world that, you've got a world that,
G G/F# Em7 A7 D
We've got a world that swings.
