Eric Clapton – Wonderful Tonight
Key: G Major BPM: ♩ = 80 Time: 4/4
|G     |D/F#     |C     |D     |
|G     |D/F#     |C     |D     |

|G                 |D/F#   |C                      D              |
   It's late in the evening,  she's wondering what clothes to wear
|G                |D/F#   |C                |D               |
   She puts on her make-up   and brushes her long blonde hair

|C             |D      |G      D/F#    |Em    |
   And then she asks me,  do I look all right?
           |C            |D                 |
And I say, “Yes, you look wonderful tonight”

|G     |D/F#     |C     |D     |

|G           |D/F#   |C             |D           |
   We go to a party     and everyone turns to see
|G               |D/F#   |C                |D            |
   This beautiful lady      that's walking around with me

|C             |D      |G        D/F#    |Em    |
   And then she asks me,  do you feel all right?
            |C          |D                 |
 And I say, “Yes, I feel wonderful tonight”

|G     |G     |

      |C          |D              |G          D/F#   |Em   |
I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes
       |C           |D              |C            |D                       |
And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realise how much I love you

|G     |D/F#     |C     |D     |
|G     |D/F#     |C     |D     |

|G                |D/F#    |C                       |D   |
   It's time to go home now   and I've got an aching head
|G                  |D/F#    |C                    |D   |
   So I give her the car keys   and she helps me to bed

|C           |D       |G      D/F#        |Em   |
   And then I tell her,  as I turn out the light
          |C                |D                 |
I say, “My darling, you were wonderful tonight”

|G    D/F#    |Em    Em/D    |

     |C                 D                |
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

|G     |D/F#     |C     |D     |
|G     |D/F#     |C     |D     |
