[Verse 1]

G                D/F#

  It's late in the evening 

C                        D

  She's wondering what clothes to wear

G                D/F#

  She puts on her makeup

C                 D

  And brushes her long blonde hair

 

C              D

  And then she asks me

G        D/F#     Em

  "Do I look all right?", and I say, 

  C             D           G  D/F#   C   D

"Yes, you look wonderful tonight"

 

[Verse 2]

G            D/F#

  We go to a party

C               D

  And every one turns to see

G               D/F#

  This beautiful lady

C                D

  Who's walking around with me

 

C              D

  And then she asks me

G         D/F#    Em

  "Do you feel alright?", and I say, 

  C           D           G   

"Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"

 

[Bridge]

        C           D               G        D/F#    Em

I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes

          C           D                C             D

Then the wonder of it all is that you just don't realize

            G   D/F#   C    D    G    D/F#  C    D   

How much I love you

 

[Verse 3]

G                D/F#

  It's time to go home now

C                D

  And I've got an aching head

G                  D/F# 

  So I give her the car keys

C                     D

  And she helps me to bed

 

C             D

  And then I tell her

G      D/F#          Em

  As I turn out the light, I say

     C                D           |G   D/F# |Em   D    |

"My darling you were wonderful tonight"

         C                 D           G   D/F#   C    D   

"Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight"

G    D/F#   C   D    G
