Gdim7 | A7 | Gdim7 | Dm

When marimba rhythms Gdim7 start to A7 play

Gdim7 Dance with A7 me Dm make me sway

Like a lazy ocean Gdim7 hugs the A7 shore

Gdim7 Hold me A7 close Dm sway me more [Stop]

Like a flower bending Gdim7 in the A7 breeze

Gdim7 Bend with A7 me Dm sway with ease

When we dance you have a Gdim7 way with A7 me

Gdim7 Stay with A7 me Dm sway with me [Stop]

Other dancers may C be on the floor C7

But my eyes will F see only you

Only you have that A7 magic technique

When we sway I go Bb weak Bb /// A7 / [Stop]

I can hear the sounds of Gdim7 vio A7 lins

Gdim7 Long be A7 fore Dm it begins

Dm Make me thrill as only Gdim7 you know A7 how

Gdim7 Sway me A7 smooth Dm sway me Dm now [Stop]
