The World We Knew (Over And Over)
Words & Music by Herbert Rehbein & Bert KaempfertEnglish lyric by Carl Sigman
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1976 (#30)
Am E7 Am Fdim Dm7 Bm7-5
Over and over, I keep going over the world we knew
Am Cdim Bm7-5 E7
Once when you walked be-side me,
E7 Bm7-5 E7 Fdim Dm7 Bm7-5
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew
Am Cdim E E+7 E7
When we two were in love,
E6 AM7 A6 Bb9
And ev'ry bright neon sign turned into stars,
AM7 A6 Bb9
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours;
Em B+ Bbm7-5 Gdim
Each road that we took turned into gold,
Em B+ D9 E7
But the dream was too much for you to hold.
Am E7 Am Fdim Dm7 Bm7-5
Now over and over, I keep going over the world we knew
Am Cdim E7-9 Am
Days when you used to love me.
(Instrumental interlude: second 2 lines of first verse)
E7 Bm7-5 E7 Fdim Dm7 Bm7-5
Am Cdim E - E+7 - E7
E6 AM7 A6 Bb9
And ev'ry bright neon sign turned into stars,
AM7 A6 Bb9
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours;
Em B+ Bbm7-5 Gdim
Each road that we took turned into gold,
Em B+ D9 E7
But the dream was too much for you to hold.
Am E7 Am Fdim Dm7 Bm7-5
Now over and over, I keep going over the world we knew
Am Cdim E7-9 Am
Days when you used to love me.

Am E7 Am Fdim Bm7-5 Fdim Am
Over and over I keep going over the world we knew.
