- The timing may be slightly off (I didn't bring my guitar to work today ;-) but
- you should get the idea...

- For completeness, here are the chords and lyrics:
-
- 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 make up
- C D
- And brushes her long blonde hair
- C D
- And then she asks me
- G D/F# Em
- Do I look alright
- C D G D/F# C D
- And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
-
- We go a party
- And everyone turns to see
- This beautiful lady
- That's walking around with me
- And then she asks me
- Do you feel alright
- And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
-
- C
- I feel wonderful
- D G D/F# Em
- Because I see the love light in your eyes
- C D
- And the wonder of it all
- C D
- Is that you just don't realize
- G D/F# C D G D/F# C D
- How much I love you
-
- It's time to go home now
- And I've got an aching head
- So I give her the car keys
- She helps me to bed
- And then I tell her
- As I turn out the light
- I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
- Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
-
-
- Enjoy,
- Kim
