Here's To Life

Shirley Horn


Tom: Eb

[Intro]  Gm9  Gb7(#11)

Fm7
No complaints
         Bbsus
And no regrets
          Bb9      Eb7+(9)
I still believe in chasing dreams
           Ab7+(9)
And placing bets

But I have learned
    Dm7(5b)
That all you give
          G7(9b)
Is all you get
                      Cm9     Gm7     Gb7(#11)
So give it all you've got

Fm7
I had my share
           Bbsus
I drank my fill
          Bb9       Eb7+(9)
And even though I'm satisfied
           Ab7+(9)
I'm hungry still
                    Dm7(5b)
To see what's down another road
           G7(9b)
Beyond the hill
               C6(9)     Db9(#11)     Csus    C7(9b)
And do it all again

              Fm9     Fm7/G     G7(9b)
So here's to life
                  Csus
And every joy it brings
   C9/Bb     Ab7+(9)     Fm7/G
So here's to life
    G7(9b)             Csus     Gm7     Gb7(#11)
To dreamers and their dreams

Fm7                      Bbsus
Funny how the time just flies
              Bb9
How love can go
     Eb7+(9)
From warm hellos
           Ab7+(9)
To sad goodbyes
                        Dm7(5b)
And leave you with the memories
           G7(9b)
You've memorized
                     Csus     Gm7     Gb7(#11)
To keep your winters warm

     Fm7                   Bbsus
For there's no yes in yesterday
      Bb9           Eb7+(9)
And who knows what tomorrow brings
          Ab7+(9)
Or takes away
                    Dm7(5b)
As long as I'm still in the game
          G7(9b)
I want to play

For laughs

For life
    C6(9)     Csus
For love

             Fm9     Fm7/G
So here's to life
   G7(9b)         Csus
And every joy it brings
C9/Bb     Ab7+(9)     Fm7/G
Here's to life
    G7(9b)              Csus     C9     C7(b9)/Bb
For dreamers and their dreams

   Ab7+(9)           Dm7(5b)/G     G7(9b)
May all your storms be weathered
   Fm9/C     Cm7/Bb     Am7(5b)     Ab7+(9)
And all that's good get better
Dm7(5b)
Here's to life
         Dm7(5b)/G
Here's to love
          Cm9     Cm9/Bb
Here's to you

( Am7(5b)  Ab7(#11)  G7(9b)  Gb7(#11) )
( Fm9  Dm7(5b)/G  G7(9b)  Csus  C4/Bb )
( Ab7+(9)  Dm7(5b)  G7(9b)  Csus  C7(b9)/Bb )

   Ab7+(9)           Dm7(5b)/G     G7(9b)
May all your storms be weathered
   Fm9/C     Cm7/Bb     Am7(5b)     Ab7+(9)
And all that's good get better
Dm7(5b)
Here's to life
         Dm7(5b)/G     Fm7/G
Here's to love
          Cm9
Here's to you
