Body & Soul

Words & Music

Johnny Green

 

Am7         E7b5    Am7   Ab7

My heart is sad and lonely.

GM7       C7  Bm7           Bdim

For you I cry; for you, dear, only.

Am7             F#m7b5   B7

Why haven't you seen it?

Em7    A7   Am7   D7        G6  E7

I'm all for you, body and soul.

 

I spend my days in longing

And wondering why it's me you're wronging.

I tell you, I mean it:

Em7    A7   Am7   D7        G6  Eb7

I'm all for you, body and soul.

 

BRIDGE:

AbM7      Bbm7      Ab/C            Dbm7    Gb7

I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it,

Cm7   F7      Bbm7   Eb7   AbM7

   That you'd turn away romance.

Am7        E7b9      Am7             Ab7

Are you pretending?  It looks like the ending.

GM7          C7  

Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear.

 

My life a wreck you're making.

You know I'm yours for just the taking.

I'd gladly surrender

Myself to you, body and soul.

 

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE:

 

My life a wreck you're making.

You know I'm yours for just the taking.

I would gladly surrender

Myself to you, body and soul.
