Getting Sentimental
20s jazzy featuring Roger Brawn on lead acoustic guitar.
I do have this habit of throwing out novelty foxtrots every so often. Not sure if it’s because of my granny’s wind up gramophone or the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band..

HBD 09 Getting sentimental on you
E F#m B
It’s not the kind of thing I’d usually say
C#m F# B B2 B
But I’ve taken to gazing in a dreamy way
C#m F#m
Into your eyes of clearest blue
A A˚ G+ E B7
I fear I’m getting sentimental on you
I sit gazing in the air for hours
My mind is filled with images of trees and flowers
That’s not the kind of thing I usually do
A B7 E
I must be getting sentimental on you
(E) G#m A
You just need to give a glance in my direction
A C#7
A chance reflection in your eyes I’ve seen
F#m G#m
Gives me cause to sigh imperceptibly
F# B Bmaj7 B7
Fly irredemptably in thoughts se- rene
So, think what you’re doing with your magical art
The feeling’s growing deep within my heart, and
I hope coincidentally
You’re getting sentimental on me
