Key: D
Introduction: Em7 A7 D A7
D A F#m G
It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door,
D Bm Em7- A7
When you're really half a world away,
D A F#m G
I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for,
D Bm Em7- A7
To say the things I want to say,
D A F#m G
I can't remember when I felt so close to you,
D Bm Em7- A7
It's almost more than I can bear,
D A F#m G
And though I seem a half a million miles from you,
D Bm Em7- A7
You are in my heart and living there,
D G D Bm
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see,
Em7 A7 D- A7
It's the same old sun you see up in the sky,
D G D Bm
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me,
Em7 A7 D
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai,
(verse 2)
D G D Bm
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see,
Em7 A7 D- A7
It's the same old sun you see up in the sky,
D G D Bm
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me,
Em7 A7 D
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai,
(bridge)
Em7 F#m Bm G A7- D
Shanghai breezes cool and clearing evening's sweet caress,
Em7 F#m D G Em7 A7
Shanghai breezes soft and gentle remind me of your tenderness,
(chorus)
D G D Bm
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see,
Em7 A7 D- A7
It's the same old sun you see up in the sky,
D G D Bm
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me,
Em7 A7 D
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai,
D G D Bm
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see,
Em7 A7 D- A7
It's the same old sun you see up in the sky,
D G D Bm
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me,
Em7 A7 D
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai,
