[Intro]

G#                    A#m                  Cm        C#
   When I see my baby,    What do I see,   Poetry,   Poetry in motion

[Primeira Parte]

G#        Fm      A#m           D#
Poetry in motion, Walkin' by my side
    G#         Fm      A#m             D#
Her lovely locomotion, Keeps my eyes open wide
G#        Fm      A#m            D#
Poetry in motion, See her gentle sway
  G#              Fm           C#    D#        G#
A wave out on the ocean, Could never move that way

[Middle Eight]

    C            Fm               C               Fm
I love every movement, There's nothing I would change
      C                C#           A#m              D#
She doesn't need improvement, She's much too nice to rearrange

A flower of devotion, A-swaying gracefully

A wave out on the ocean, Could never move that way

No number-nine love potion, Could make me love her more
