D     A7        Em7      D  Bm7 F#7    Bm       F#7 
Dear, when you smiled at me, I heard a melody 
Em  B+      Em7 Em6      A7   Edim  G  A7 
It haunted me from the start 
G       G/F#   Em7  Em6    Gm   Gdim  Edim  Gm7 
Something inside    of me started    a symphony  
D     Bm7       E7     Bm5-/7    A     Dm6  Cdim  A7 
Zing! Went the strings  of  my heart 
D     A7       Em7      D     Bm7 F#7    Bm    F#7 
'Twas like a breath of spring; I heard a robin sing 
Em  B+      Em7 Em6   A7   Edim  G  A7 
'Bout a nest set apart 
G   G/F#   Em7      Em6 Gm Gdim     Edim  Gm7 
All nature seemed to be in perfect    harmony  
D     Bm7       E7     A7     D    G   Gdim  D 
Zing! Went the strings of my heart 

Bridge 
     Em7        A7         D            D6 
Your eyes made skies seem blue again 
Em7        A7     D           D6 
What else could I do again 
G#m7       C#7      D           E7          A7  Bm5-/7 Gdim  A7 
But keep repeating through and through, 'I love  you, love you' 
D  A7     Em7        D    Bm7 F#7 Bm        F#7 
I still recall the thrill  I guess I always will 
Em  B+        Em7   Em6    A7 Edim G A7 
I  hope 'twil never     depart 
G   G/F#      Em7      Em6  Gm   Gdim Edim  Gm7 
Dear with your lips to mine,   a rhapsody divine 
D     Bm7       E7     A7      D 
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
