Recorded by Nat King Cole (1953)


Am      Bb9        Am           F7
Try to think that love's not around,
Am           Dm      Dm7  E7
Still it's uncomfortably near
Am      D9        Am           Bb9
My old heart ain't gainin' no ground
   Am             Bb9  E7    Am
Because my angel eyes ain't here.

Am    Bb9        Am         F7
Angel eyes, the old Devil sent,
Am           Dm   Dm7 E7
They glow unbearably bright
Am      D9          Am        Bb9
Need I say that my love's misspent,
     Am        Bb9  E7       Am
Misspent with angel eyes tonight?

    F        G7         Cm7     Am
So drink up, all of you people,
F          G7      Cm7   Am
Order anything you see;
Am   Am+7  Am7      D
Have fun, you happy people
      Am          Am+7       Bb9  E7
The drink and the laugh's on me.

Am    Bb9     Am        F7
Pardon me, but I gotta run
    Am        Dm   Dm7  F7   E7
The fact's uncommonly clear.
Am    D9          Am           Bb9
Gotta find who's now the number one
     Am          Bb9  E7     Am
And why my angel eyes ain't here.

Am   Am+7  Am7      D
Have fun, you happy people
      Am          Am+7       Bb9  E7
The drink and the laugh's on me.

Am    Bb9     Am        F7
Pardon me, but I gotta run
    Am        Dm   Dm7  F7   E7
The fact's uncommonly clear
Am    D9          Am           Bb9
gotta find who's now the number one
     Am          Bb9  E7     Am
And why my angel eyes ain't here

Dm        Dm7         Bb9 E7 Am
Excuse me     while I disappear...
