Cheek to Cheek Taco
Written by Irving Berlin, as performed by Taco Ockerse. This is probably a pretty
simplified version. For the most part, it seems to fit Fred Astaire's recording as well
(specifically, the recording found on Astaire's Dancing Cheek to Cheek collection).
Though, for adapting this to any of the other numerous versions of Cheek to Cheek, bear in
mind that
Taco's rendition is performed in C, and modulates to D.
[C]Heaven,[F] I'm in [C]heav[F]en
And my [C]heart beats [Em]so that [Am]I can h[Dm]ardly sp[E-A]eak
And I [Dm]seem to find the [G7]happiness I se[E-A]ek
When we're [Dm]out together [G(7)]dancing cheek to [C]cheek
Heaven (cheek to cheek), I'm in heaven (cheek to cheek)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek (cheek to cheek)
Oh, [G7]I love to climb the [C]mountain, and to [G7]reach the highest [C]peak
[G7] [C] [F] [G7]
But i[C]t doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I [G7]love to go a-[C]fishin', in a [G7]river or a [C]creek
[G7] [C] [F] [G7]
B[C]ut I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
[Cm]Dance with me, I want my [Ab]arms about you
The [Bb]charm about you will [C]carry me [Dm]throu[G7]gh to
[C]Heave[F]n (cheek to cheek), I'm in [C]heaven ([F]cheek to cheek)
And my [C]heart beats [Em]so that [Am]I can h[Dm]ardly sp[E-A]eak
And I [Dm]seem to find the [G7]happiness I se[E-A]ek
When we're [Dm]out together [G(7)]dancing cheek to [C]cheek (cheek to cheek)
(The song modulates here, moving up to D. I CANNOT figure out the chords to this section
-- if anyone could help me out by putting them in the comments it would be greatly
appreciated. What follows is my best guess)
[C] [Em] [C] [Dm] [Em] [Am] [Dm]
[G] [E] [A]
[Dm]Dance with[Dm/C] me, I want my arm[Bb]s about you
The [C]charm about you will [D]carry me [G]thro[A]ugh to
[D]Heaven,[G] I'm in [D]heav[G]en
And my [D]heart beats [F#m]so that I[Bm] can ha[Em]rdly s[F#-B]peak
And I [Em]seem to find the [A7]happiness I s[F#-B]eek
When we're [Em]out together [A(7)]dancing cheek to [D]cheek
I don't [A7]wanna climb no [D]mountain, I don't [A7]wanna swim no [D]creek
[A7] [D] [G] [A7]
A[D]ll I ever wanna do with you honey is dance cheek to cheek
[Dm] [Dm/C] [Bb] [A] [Ab]
Dance wit[Dm]h me, I want you to dance cheek to cheek!
