BLUE CHAMPAGNE
By: Grady Watts, Frank Ryerson, Jimmy Eaton
Jimmy Dorsey, Manhattan Transfer
Key: F

3 AM
Nowhere else to go
It's 3 AM and I miss you so
Couples are departing soon they'll all be gone
Now another day is starting
Still I linger on with

 -6  5 -5  -5
Blue Cham-pagne
 6   5   -5  -3   5   -2   1    -1
Pur-ple shad-ows and blue cham-pagne
 4*   3* -3* -2   3    -3   1   -1
With the ech-oes that still re-main
4  -4 -3* -3  -2  -1   -2
I keep a blue ren-dez-vous

-6  5 -5  -5
Bub-bles rise
 6   5  -5   -3  5   -2  1   -1
Like a foun-tain be-fore my eyes
 4*  3*  -3* -2  3   -3   1   -1
And they sud-den-ly crys-tal-lize
4   -4 -3* -3 -2  -1 -2
To form a vis-ion of you

-1   2   -2   3   -3   -3
All the plans we start-ed, 
-1   2   -2   3   -3
all the songs we sang
 4    4   4    4   4   4
Each lit-tle dream we knew
 -1   2  -2 3   -3  -3
Seems to ov-er-take me
 -1  2  -2  -3 -5
Like a boom-er-ang
 5   5   5   -5  -5    5*  3* -3*  5
Blue is the spar-kle, gone is the tang

 5   -6  5   -5
Each old re-frain,
  6   5   -5  -3   4 -2  1  -1
Keeps re-turn-ing, as I re-main
 4*  3* -3*   -2   3   -3   1    -1
With my mem-‘ries and blue cham-pagne
4   -4   -3*  -3    4   -5  -6...
To toast the dream that was you
