I Didn't Know What Time It Was Chords

(ver. 1)
Ella Fitzgerald
This is in the key I sing it in, but it can obviously be transposed into whatever 
you need. Please enjoy!!! 

I use a lot of jazz symbols so for those of you that don't know:
a (-) means minor. As in A#-7 = A#min7



Bb-7 Eb7        Abm
I------- didn't know what time it was

Bb-7   Eb7        C#
Then------ I met you.

C#m        Abm            Ebm  E
Oh, what a lovely time it was,

               Ebm C#m  (F#-7 F#7)
How sublime it was too!


Bb-7 Eb7       Abm
I------ didn't know what day it was

Bb  Eb7          C#
You---- hold my hand.

C#m            Abm            Ebm  E
Warm like the month of May it was,

         Ebm         C#-7  (F#-7 F#7)
and I'll say it was grand.


B             C#-7        Eb7  
Grand to be alive, to be young,

      C#m         Eb7    Abm
to be mad, to be yours alone!

E  F#7               B
Grand-- to see your face, feel your touch,

                        C#7      C#m7  (F#-7 F#7)
hear your voice say I'm all your own.



Bb-7 Eb7        Abm
I------- didn't know what year it was

Bb-7 Eb7          C#
life---- was no prize.

C#m            Abm              Ebm  E
I------ wanted love and here it was

                    C#-7  
shining out of your eyes.


C#-7-5  B
I'm    wise----,
                                        Endings
       E6        F#     E6  B      1. E#-7-5  F#7
and I know what time it is now.    2. B  B6
