6   -6   6  -3  -4
A-pril’s in the air 
 5   6   7  -7  -8
But here in Par-is 
9  -9    8  -6  7    7     -5
A-pril wears a dif-f’rent gown 
 8  -9   8  -6    7    7
You can see her waltz-ing 
 -5   7   -5*
Down the street 
 7   -7  -8  6
The tang of wine 
-6 6  -3  -4
Is in the air 
 5    6    7   -7  -8   9  -9  8
I’m drunk with all the hap-pi-ness 
 -6    7     7   -5
That Spring can give 
-5  6    -6*   7*  -6*  6
Nev-er dreamed it could be 
-5  6 -6* -8  -7  -9
So ex-cit-ing to live 

-6 -6  -6 -5* 6    -6    -6  -6  -5*  6
A-pril in Par-is, chest-nuts in blos-som 
-5 -5 -5  -4   5  6   7  -8   -9
Hol-i-day tab-les un-der the trees 
-9 -9  -9 -8  9    -9  -9 -9 -8   8
A-pril in Par-is, this is a feel-ing 
8   8   8  -7 -8  9  10
No one can ev-er re-prise 

10 -9 -7* -8  -9    9   9    9 
I nev-er knew the charm of Spring 
-9 -7* -8  -9  9   9   9
Nev-er met it face to face 
10 -9 -7* -8  -9   8     8    8
I nev-er knew my heart could sing 
 8  7*   -7   8  -8  -8  7*    7
Nev-er missed a warm em-brace till
-6 -6  -6 -5* 6
A-pril in Par-is 
 -7* -7*-7* 7* -7
Whom can I run to 
 -9   -9  -9   -8  9  -9   9
What have you done to my heart
