Tell me where do they go,
A7M5 A7 F? D DM7 D7 D7/F#
These smoke rings I blow each night?
G G/E Em7-5 A7 A7M5 D Bm7 Em7 A7
What do they do these circles of blue and white?
A7M5 D D6 A7M5 A7 F? D DM7 D7 D7/F#
And why do they seem to picture a dream of love?
G G/E Em7-5 A7 A7M5 D
Why do they fade my phantom parade of love?
D D6 A7M5 A7 F? D DM7 D7 D7/F#
Where do they end, the smoke rings I send on high?
G G/E Em7-5 A7 A7M5 D Bm7 Em7 A7
Where are they hurled when they've kissed the world good-bye?
A7M5 D D6 A7M5 A7 F? D DM7 D7 D7/F#
Oh, I'd give my life to laugh at this stife be - low;
G G/E Em7-5 A7 A7M5 D
I'd be a king, I'd follow each ring I blow.
D D6 A7M5 A7 F? D DM7 D7 D7/F#
Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away;
G G/E Em7-5 A7 A7M5 D Bm7 Em7 A7
Puff, puff, puff night and day.
D A7M5 D6 E7/9 Bm7-5 E7
Blow, blow them through the air, silky little rings,
G G/E Em7-5 A7 A7M5 D Bm7 Em7 A7
Blow, blow them ev'rywhere, give your troubles wings.
D D6 A7M5 A7 F? D9
What do they tell and what is the spell they cast?
G G/E Em7-5 A7 A7M5 D Bm7 Em7 A7
Some of them fall and seem to recall the past.
A7M5 D D6 A7M5 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 E? A7 D G7 D6
Please take me above, take me with you.
