Cheek To Cheek

Words & Music:

Irving Berlin

 

G       D7     G      D7

Heaven, IÕm in heaven.

       D           D7      Gdim  G      F6     E7

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.

A7    D7      C        D7   C    D7  B7  E7

And I seem to find the happiness I-- seek

Am7  E7    C            D7      C     D7 G     C   D+

When weÕre out together dancing cheek to cheek.

 

Heaven, IÕm in heaven.

And the cares that hung around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gamblerÕs lucky streak.

Am7  E7    C            D7      C     D7 G     C   G

When weÕre out together dancing cheek to cheek.

 

BRIDGE:

      D7      G       D7      G    D7        G       C   D7

Oh, I love to climb a mountain and reach the highest peak.

G        D7     G         D7      G       D7      G        C  D7

But, it doesnÕt thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh, I love to go out fishing in a river or a creek.

But I donÕt enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek.

Gm                       Eb9

Dance with me; I want my arm about you.

     Ebdim                Em    G  A9      D7

That charm about you will carry me through to...

 

Heaven, IÕm in heaven.

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.

And I seem to find the happiness I seek.

When weÕre out together dancing cheek to cheek.

 

 

Another turnaround option between verses is:

G  Gdim  Am  C  D7
