A7+5 A7  D            D6 
Tell me where do they go, 

       A7+5          A7  Fdim   D    DM7   D7  D7/F#
These smoke rings I blow each night?

G            G/E      Em7-5      A7   A7+5  D     Bm7 Em7 A7
What do they do these circles of blue and white? 

A7+5 D          D6      A7+5      A7   Fdim D     DM7  D7  D7/F#
And why do they seem to picture a dream of love?

G           G/E     Em7-5      A7 A7+5  D   
Why do they fade my phantom parade of love? 


D             D6       A7+5          A7  Fdim  D    DM7  D7  D7/F#
Where do they end, the smoke rings I send on  high?

G              G/E         Em7-5               A7   A7+5  D  Bm7 Em7 A7
Where are they hurled when they've kissed the world good-bye?

A7+5 D          D6      A7+5           A7  Fdim   D   DM7  D7  D7/F#
Oh, I'd give my life to laugh at this stife be - low;

G        G/E       Em7-5        A7 A7+5  D
I'd be a king, I'd follow each ring I  blow.


D     D6    A7+5  A7   Fdim  D     DM7  D7  D7/F#
Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away; 

G     G/E   Em7-5 A7  A7+5  D    Bm7 Em7 A7
Puff, puff, puff night and day. 

D                           A7+5  D6          E7/9   Bm7-5  E7
Blow, blow them through the air, silky little rings,

G      G/E           Em7-5   A7        A7+5     D    Bm7 Em7 A7
Blow, blow them ev'rywhere, give your troubles wings. 


D            D6       A7+5         A7   Fdim  D9
What do they tell and what is the spell they cast?

G            G/E      Em7-5     A7   A7+5  D  Bm7 Em7 A7
Some of them fall and seem to recall the past.

A7+5 D           D6    A7+5        D6       E7/9
But most of them rise away to the skies of  blue.

    E7      G
Oh, little smoke rings I love, 

       Em7-5   A7-9  Edim A7       D  G7   D6
Please take me above, take me with you.
