Intro Vamp:

Am //// E7 //// Am //// E7 //// Am / (N.C.)
E7
When marimba rhythms start to play
Am
Dance with me, make me sway.
<
E7
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore,
Am
(N.C.)
Hold me close, sway me more.
Break it apart.
E7
Like a ower bending in the breeze,
Write all the

chords down on
a piece of paper
for the A section
only... and do our
4/3/2/1 practice.
Am
Bend with me, sway with ease.
E7
When we dance you have a way with me,
Am
(N.C.)
Stay with me, sway with me.
No Mistakes?
Bridge:
Now do the same

for the B section.
C
Dear, but my eyes will see only you.
When you got it

all...Put them
together and
play the song
with condence.
G7
Other dancers may be on the oor,
E7
Only you have that magic technique.
<
Am
(N.C.)
When we sway I go weak.
E7
I can hear the sound of violins
Am
Long before it begins.
E7
Make me thrill as only you know how,
Am
Sway me smooth, sway me now.
(Repeat last two lines twice and
end with cha-cha-cha)
(N.C. to Bridge)
[Option: Do an instrumental or hum
one chorus before going to the bridge]
