That Old Black Magic

Louis Armstrong

Tom: D

E7    A   E7/6  A    D9     A  E7/6  A  
That old black magic has me in its spell, 
E7    A   E7/6  A    D9        E7  Fdim E7 
That old black magic that you weave so well. 
     E7  Fdim E7         D9      E7 Fdim E7 
Those i - cy  fin - gers up and down my spine, 
     A6  Cdim E7/9          Cdim      A6   Cdim E7/9 
The same old  witch - craft when your eyes meet mine. 
 
E7    A  E7/6  A    D9     A   E7/6   A 
The same old tingle that I feel in - side, 
E7    A  E7/6  A      D9          E7  Fdim  E7 
And then that el - e - va - tor starts its ride. 
     D9 Bm7/5- E7    Bm7/5-  A9   Fdim F#m   F#m7/E 
And down and down I   go; round and round I  go 
D9     Dm6  Bbmaj7         Fdim          A    D9   A 
Like a leaf        that's caught in the tide. 
 
(Bridge:) 
 
Amaj7     F#m      F#m7/E                G#7 
I should stay away,       but what can I do? 
            C#7              F#7/6    
I hear your name and I'm a - flame. 

     D9                         Dm6 
A - flame with such a burning desire 
              Bm7/5-    Fdim          E7 

That only your kiss can put out the fire. 
 
(E7)  A    E7/6 A   D9  E7   A   E7/6  A 
For you're the lover I have wait - ed for, 
     A7  Em7   A7      Em7     Gdim D6   A7 
The mate that Fate had me cre - a - ted for. 
    D9         D6               Dm6 
And ev'ry time   your lips meet mine, 
         D9  Bm7/5- E7   Bm7/5-  A9  Fdim F#m    F#m7/E 
Darling, down and down I  go; round and round I  go 
D         D6             Dm6       Bm7/5-       
In a spin,   loving the spin I'm in 
           D9  Bm7/5- Dm6    E7     A 
Under that old black magic called love.
