The Lady in Red by Chris De Burgh

The original key is Bb major. I have transposed it to G major so I can sing it.

By:   Chris De Burgh            

[intro:] 2 X [ G  Cmaj7  D ]

[verse:1]                
     G                          Cmaj7                D
I've never seen you looking so lovely, as you did tonight.
     B7                      Em         D     C     D
I've never seen you shine so bright... mmmh mmh 
    G                          Cmaj7                D
I've never seen so many men ask you If you wanted to dance.
     B7                      Em              D       C    
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance.
           Am7
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing
        D                                       Em
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes.
             D  
I have been blind.

[chorus:]
D            G          Cmaj7 D          Em        Bm7    Em
The lady in red______,   is dancing with me.... cheek to cheek.
                Am7    D7                  G
There's nobody here,     it's just you and me.
                     G7
It's where I want to be.
               C        B7                      Em  Dsus4 C#m7b5
But I hardly know_____    this beauty by my si------de
               Am  D                     G
I'll never forget... the way you look tonight.

             D  
As I do tonight.
