Strangers in the night

Strangers in the Night was composed by Bert Kaempfert with lyrics by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder. Iconically performed by Frank Sinatra, it was recorded on April 11, 1966. The song gave Sinatra one of his biggest hits. The story behind its creation involves it being originally instrumental, titled Beddy Bye - part of the soundtrack for the movie A Man Could Get Killed. The addition of lyrics came later, turning it into a classic.

Introduction:  F6   F7M   C7  

 F                                           F7M 
Strangers in the night exchanging glances, wondering in the night what were the chances
 F6                   Dm                      Gm        Gm6 
We' d be sharing love  before the night was through?
 Gm                                       Gm7 
Something in your eyes was so inviting, something in your smile was so exciting
 C7                                         F7M 
Something in my heart told me I must have you
 Am7(b5)                                                
Strangers in the night, two lonely people, we were strangers in the night up to the moment
         Gm                     Bbm                  F                Dm              Gm7             C7 
When we said our first hello, little did we know, love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

     F                                           F7M 
And ever since that night we' ve been together, lovers at first sight in love forever
 Gm7                    C7                      F 
It turned out so right  for strangers in the night

   Gm  Bbm    F                Dm              Gm7             C7 
           Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

 G                                           G7M 
Ever since that night we' ve been together, lovers at first sight in love forever
 Am                     D7                      G      D7 
It turned out so right  for strangers in the night
 G                                  G7M 
Do dee do be doo do do do dee da, da da da da di yi ya
