Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding Cifras

[Intro]
 
D   F#m/C#  Em7  A7
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
    D                  Bm
The boys were singing shing-a-ling
    Em7
The summer night we met
A
You were tan and seventeen
  D               Em7 A
O how could I forget
     D               Bm
When every star from near and far
    Em7
Was watching from above
A                              D
Watching two teenagers fall in love
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    D                 Bm
The way we danced was not a dance
    Em7
But more a long embrace
   A
We held on to each other and
   D                 Em7 A
We floated there in space
    D            Bm
And I was shy to kiss you while
    Em7
The whole wide world could see
   A                                D
So shing-a-ling said everything for me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Em7            A
And O the poor old old folks
     D
They thought we'd lost our minds
Bm                  F#m
They could not make heads or tails
       Em7                 A7sus A
Of the young folks' funny rhymes
    D              Bm
But you and I knew all the words
       Em7         Gm
And we always sang along to
D        Bm        Em7
O sham-a-ling-dong-ding
       A         D
Sham-a-ling-dang-dong
 
Bm  Em7  A
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
   D               Bm
So after years and after tears
    Em7
And after summers past
    A
The old folks tried to warn us
        D                Em7 A
How our love would never last
    D                Bm
And all we'd get was soaking wet
     Em7
From walking in the rain
    A                             D
And singing sham-a-shing-a-ling again
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Em7            A
And O the poor old old folks
     D
They smile and walk away
      Bm
But I bet they did some
F#m         Em7                A
Sham-a-lama-ding-dong in their day
D                     Bm
I bet that they still close their eyes
      Em7           Gm
And I bet they sing along to
D        Bm        Em7
O sham-a-ling-dong-ding
       A
Sham-a-ling-dang-dong
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm
O those sweet old love songs
D
Every word rings true
       Bm
Sham-a-ling-dong-ding means sweetheart
       Em7                 A7sus A
Sham-a-ling-dang-dong does too
D                            Bm
And it means that right here in my arms
Em7              Gm
That's where you belong
       D            Bm        Em7
And it means sham-a-ling-dong-ding
       A         D
Sham-a-ling-dang-dong
 
 
[Outro]
 
Bm   Em7   A7sus A
