The Continental Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Beautiful [D]music, dangerous [A]rhythm.
[D]Beautiful music, dangerous rhythm.
The first four words
of the very first song ever
to win an Academy Award
[Bb]happily [D]describes [Eb]all the Oscar [D]winning compositions,
especially written for motion pic[B]tures.
And [Em]there was plenty of beautiful music
and [Eb]dangerous rhythm
to be [D]enjoyed in [Em]1934,
as Fred Astaire and Ginger Roger[D]s
went whirling [Eb]through the gate of Horsey
to [D]the first [B]Academy Award winner,
[D]The Continental.
It's something [G]daring, [D]The Continental,
a way of [A]dancing
that's really all for [D]new.
It's very [G]subtle, The Contin[D]ental,
because it [Em]does what you want it to [D]do.
Your lips [F]whisper so tenderly,
[D]her eye[Gm]s ans[Bb]wer you[A]r song.[D]
[A]Two bodies [Em]swaying, the continental,
[D]and you are say[Em]ing just
what I'm thinking [D]of.
So keep [Em]on dancing, [G]the continent[Bm]al,
for it's a [Em]song of romance and
[D]of love.
Beautiful music, dangerous [Em]rhythm.
