[D] Many years ago, [E] I heard [Dbm] this song and I recorded it a million years [Bb] ago.
[G] [Gb] [B] [D] It was from a [Ab] musical, [Dbm]
[A] New Faces of 1955, [D] and I had gone to see this.
This [Eb] was all the [Am] beginning for Eartha Kitt.
[Dbm] [G]
[D] She was marvelous in that.
[Ab] This particular song [A] was not sung by her, but by [Dbm] someone else in the musical.
[G]
But it was [Gb] such [D] [E] a [Dbm] [A]
heavy song, as we say in America.
[E] It was [A] absolutely [G] lovely, and I learned it and recorded it, and I'd like to sing [Gb] it for you tonight.
[A] You're so late getting home from the office
Did you [Dbm] miss your train?
[D] Were you caught [Dbm] in the [A] rain?
No, don't bother [E] to [A]
explain
Can [Bbm] I fix you a quick [Gb] martini?
As a matter [Fm] of fact, I will have one [Bb] with you

[C] [F] who [Bb] I saw today, my dear
[G] [Cm]
I went in town [F] to shop [Bb] around for something [E] new
[G] And [C]
thought [Eb] I'd [F] stop and [Bb] have a bite when I was [F] [G] through
I [Cm]
[Bb] looked [F] around [Bb] for some place new
[Eb] [Cm]
And it [F] occurred to [G] me [Bb] where I [G] had parked the [Abm] car
There [Cm] was a most [G] attractive French [Cm] [Bb] cafe and [C] bar
[Dm] [B] [C]
It [G] really [F] [Am] [Bb] wasn't very far
[C] [Bb] [Gb]
The waiter showed [Ab] me to a dark, [Db] secluded corner
[Fm] And [E] [Em] [Gb]
as my eyes [Bb] [Ab] became accustomed [Db]
to the [Cm] blue
[Db] [Ab] [Dm]
I [C] saw [B] two people at the [C] bar who were so [G] much in [Dm] love
That [Em] even I could spot it clear [C] across the [F] room
[G] [Cm]
[Gm] [F] Guess who I saw today, my dear
[Gm] I've [E] [Cm]
[Abm] never been so [Dm] [C] shocked [Cm] before
[Dm] I headed [G] blindly through the [B] door
[C] [F] They didn't [Ab] see me [Gm] passing through
[Em] [C]
[Gbm] [Bb] Guess who I [Cm] saw today

Here's an old Billie Holiday song for you
I'm gonna lock my heart and throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks you've played on [G] me
[Am] I'm gonna turn my back on love
Snap the moon above, seal my [Gb] windows up [Dm] with tin
Don't [Eb] fall in love but [F] can't get in
I'm gonna park my romance right along [Db] the curve
[Ab] [G] Hang a sign upon my heart, please [A] don't [F] disturb
[Bbm] Cause if I [G] never fall in love [C] again, it's soon [Dm] enough for me
