One of my personal favourite Rodgers and Hammerstein films, the letter notes for ‘Shall We Dance’ will make great practice for beginners of any instrument 🙂
F E G F – D – E
We’ve just been introduced,
E E G F E F
I do not know you well,
F E G F-D E-G
But when the music started
F – D E G F E F
Something drew me to your side.
F E-G F D E
So many men and girls,
E E G F – E F
Are in each others arms
F G G G G G G
It made me think we might be
B-B-A-A G-F-E
Similarly occupied…
A G# A
Shall we dance?
A G# A A G# A-E
On a bright cloud of music
G F ^C
shall we fly?
G F# G
Shall we dance?
G F# G G F# – G
Shall we then say “Goodnight”
D F E – A
And mean “Goodbye”?
^C B -^C
Or perchance,
F G A A-G# A E G F G
When the last little star has left the sky,
G F# G G F#-G-Bb
Shall we still be together
A G F E – F E F – A
With our arms around each other
G F E F G D E – A
And shall you be my new romance?
Bb A G G-F#-G-Bb
On the clear understanding
Bb G A G# A G# A-^C
That this kind of thing can happen,
Bb A ^C
Shall we dance?
D F ^C
Shall we dance?
D E F
Shall we Dance?
