[C] I was at a dance when he caught my [G7] eye

Standin' all alone lookin' sad and [C] shy

We began to dance [C7] swaying' to and [F] fro

And [C] soon I knew [G7]I'd never let him [C] go

Chorus:

Blame it on the bossa [G7] nova with its magic [C] spell

Blame it on the bossa [G7] nova that he did so [C] well [C7]

Oh, it all began with [F] just one little dance

But soon it ended [C] up a big romance

Blame it on the bossa [G7] nova

The dance of [C] love

Now was it the [G7] moon? No, no, the bossa nova

Or the stars a[C]bove? No, no, the bossa nova

Now was it the [G7] tune? Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova

[C]The [F] dance of [C] love

[C] Now I'm glad to say I'm his bride to [G7] be

And we're gonna raise a fami[C]ly

And when our kids ask [C7] how it came a[F]bout

I'm [C] gonna say to [G7] them without a [C] doubt

Chorus

Now was it the [G7] moon? No, no, the bossa nova

Or the stars a[C]bove? No, no, the bossa nova

Now was it the [G7] tune? Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova

[C]The [F] dance of [C] love
