DGCD
You're walkin' a-long the street, or you're at a party, (Steve A)
CG
Or else you're a-lone and then you suddenly dig; (Ann)
EmAm
You're lookin' in someone's eyes, (Ann & Steve A)
BmD
You suddenly re-a-lize
CDG
That this could be the start of something big!
[Verse 2]
DGCD
You're lunchin' at Romanoff's and watching your diet, (Steve L & Eydie)
CG
Declining a Charlotte Russe, accepting a fig,
EmAm
When out of a clear blue sky
BmD
It's suddenly gal and guy,
CDG
And this could be the start of something big!
[Chorus 1]
AbCm
There's no controlling, the un-rolling (Eydie)
AbCm
Of your fate, my friend,
BbCm
Who knows what's written in the magic book? (Steve L)
AbCm
But when a lover, you dis-cover (Ann)
AbCm
At the gate, my friend,
AmBbmC7
Invite her in without a se-cond look! (Steve A)
[Verse 3]
DGCD
You're up on a mountaintop or dining at Chasen's, (all)
CG
Or lying at Malibu, alone on the sand;
EmAm
You suddenly hear a bell,
BmD
And right away you can tell
CDG
That this could be the start of something grand!
[Verse 4]
DGCD
You're doin' your in-come tax or buyin' a toothbrush, (Steve A)
CG
Or hurrying home because the hour is late, (Steve L)
EmAm
Then suddenly there you go; (Steve A & Steve L)
BmD
And the very next thing you know
CDG
Is this could be the start of something great!
[Verse 5]
DGCD
You're walking through N.B.C. and havin' a party (Eydie)
CG
And all at once there's a face that you could adore (Ann)
EmAm
You're looking in someone's eyes (Steve L)
BmD
And you suddenly realize
CDG
That this could be the start of Dinah Shore (Steve A)
[Chorus 2]
AbCm
Your destined lover, you discover (Dinah Shore)
AbCm
In a frightening flash,
BbCm
So keep your heart awake, both night and day!
AbCm
Because the meeting, may be fleeting
AbCm
As a lightning flash,
AmBbmC7
And you don't wanna let it slip a - way!
[Verse 6]
DGCD
You're singin' a happy tune and havin' a picnic (Steve A & Steve L)
CG
And looking around, my friend, for someone to thank (Ann & Eydie)
EmAm
When suddenly there you spy, (Dinah)
BmD
A sort of familiar guy,
CDG
And man, from where I am, it looks like Frank.
[Verse 7]
DGCD
You're havin' a snow-ball fight or pickin' up daisies, (Frank Sinatra)
CG
Or out diggin' a Bar-B-Q by your swimmin' pool,
EmAm
When all of a sud-den you
BmD
Look up and there's someone new;
CDG
And, this could be the start of something cool!
[Chorus 3]
AbCm
Your destined lover, you discover (Dinah)
AbCm
In a frightening flash,
BbCm
So keep your heart awake, both night and day! (Ann)
AbCm
Because the meeting, may be fleeting (Eydie)
AbCm
As a lightning flash,
AmBbmC7
And you don't wanna let it slip a - way! (Steve L & Steve A)
[Verse 8]
DGCD
You're watchin' the sun come up, or countin' your money, (all)
CG
Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine,
EmAm
Then suddenly there he is,
BmD
And, you wanna be where he is,
CD
And this must be the start of somethin',
[Outro]
Em
This must be a part of somethin', (all)
CDG
This could be the start of somethin' live!
