D Em7 A7   D        F#m    G  G/F#  A7/13 A7 
A country dance was being held in a garden 
D Em7  A7  D        B7       G   G/F#      F#7 
I felt a  bump and heard an 'Oh, beg your pardon' 
Bm         Bm7 D   D9  D       F#7    B7 
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams 
Em7   G      A7  A7/9    D   Fdim A7 A7/13- 
All around a pug nosed dream 
 D  Em7   A7   D      F#m     G G/F#    A7/13  A7 
The mu - sic started, and was I the perplexed one 
D Em7  A7  D            B7       G  G/F#     F#7 
I held my breath, and said 'May I have the next one' 
Bm                  Bm7   D   D9 D      F#7     B7 
In my frighttened arms polka dots and moonbeams 
Em7      G    A7  A7/9    D    G#m7  C#7 
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream 

Bridge 
           F#        Ebm7   G#m7          C#7 
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers 
      F#     Ebm7        G#m7      C# 
As we floated   over the floor 
            F#        Ebm7   G#m7               C# 
There were questions,  but my heart knew all the answers 
F#     B7     Em7         A7 
And perhaps a few things more 
D  Em7 A7  D       F#m      G  G/F#     A7/13  A7 
Now in a  cottage, built of lilacs and laughter 
D Em7  A7  D       B7       G    G/F#  F#7 
I know the meaning of the words: 'ever after' 
Bm              Bm7  D   D9 D       F#7     B7 
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams 
Em7     G       A7  A7/9     D 
When I kiss my pug nosed dream
