Prelude To A Kiss

Billie Holiday


Tom: D

D   D7M   D7  D6 D   D6   D7   G7M    G6          Gm7     Gdim
If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the dew
E4/7      A9  A7/9  D  D7M    B7 Em7
That was my heart serenading you
      A4/7 A7/13-     D
My prelude  to    a   kiss 
D   D7M   D7  D6 D   D6   D7  G7M   G6        Gm7    Gdim
If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes 
E4/7      A9  A7/9   D  D7M    B7  Em7
That was my heart trying to compose  
      A7/13-  A7  D
A prelude   to  a  kiss
Bridge 
Gdim       G     G/B   Am7  D7
Though it's just a simple melody  
   G     Em7    Am7     D7
With nothing fancy, nothing much, 
Am7     G      E7    Am7   D7
You could turn it to a symphony 
 G            A     A7/9- A7/9
A Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch
A7/9 D D7M  D7   D6  D D6   D7          G7M    G6   Gm7       Gdim
Oh, how my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes
 E4/7     A9   A7/9     D   D7M   B7 Em7
My love is a prelude that never dies
  A7   A7/13-  A7    D
A prelude  to   a   kiss
