Wonderful Tonight by Eric
Clapton
G D/F# C D G
D/F# C D
G
D/F#
It's late in the evening
C
D
She's wondering what clothes to wear
G
D/F#
She puts on her make up
C
D
And brushes her long blonde hair
C
D
And then she asks me
G Bm/F# Em
Do I look alright
C
D
G D/F# C D
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
G D/F#
We go a party
C
D
And everyone turns to see
G
D/F#
This beautiful lady
C
D
That's walking around with me
C
D
And then she asks me
G Bm/F# Em
Do you feel alright
C
D G
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
C
I feel wonderful
D
G Bm/F# Em
Because I see the love light in your eyes
C D
And the wonder of it all
C D
Is that you just don't realize
G D/F# C D G
D/F# C D
How much I love you
G
D/F#
It's time to go home now
C
D
And I've got an aching head
G
D/F#
So I give her the car keys
C
D
She helps me to bed
C
D
And then I tell her
G Bm/F#
Em
As I turn out the light
C
D
G Bm/F# Em Em/D
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
C
D G
D/F# C D G D/F# C D G
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
