Introduction as recorded by Karen Carpenter
Introduction:
D Em7/9 Em7 A7 D Edim D7
Maybe I'm old - fash - ioned, feeling as I do;
G G/F# A7 Em7 A7 D
Maybe I'm jut living in the past,
A7 D Em7/9 Em7 A7 D Edim Cdim(IV)
But when I meet the right one, I know that I'll be true --
D7 G G/F# Em7 G/B A7 A7+5
My first love will be my last.
D G A7/6 D G A7 D Gdim D G/B A7
When I fall in love, it will be for - ev - er
D G D Cdim B7 Em7 G/B A7
Or I'll nev - er fall in love.
Em7 A7 D Bm7 Em7/9 Em7 A7
In a restless world like this is,
Edim D DM7 B7
Love is ended before it's begun;
Cdim Em B+ Em7 B7
And too many moonlight kisses
B7/F# Em B+ G6 Em7 A7sus4 A7
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun.
D G A7/6 D G A7 D Gdim D G/B A7
When I give my heart, it will be for - ev - er
D G D Cdim B7 Em7 G/B A7
Or I'll nev - er give my heart;
Em7 A7 D D7 Edim G
And the moment I can feel that
Cdim F#m7 B7 Cdim Em7 Gm7
You feel that way, too,
D Gdim B7 E7 A7 D Cdim(IV) G Gdim D
Is when I'll fall in love with you.
This is a revision of a chart that has been here for quite some time. The intent was merely to add the introduction, as recorded by Karen Carpenter. But once I got into it, I soon realized that the chart itself was weak and needed improvement. This version transposes from my original key of C to D.
