Chords for Gene Kelly - Syd Charisse ' 78

I thank you.
And now I'm going to break one of the cardinal rules of show business by revealing in public
the name of my favorite leading lady.
Although we've never danced together in a film, we've been like father and daughter for almost 13 years.
I'd like you to meet Bridget Kelly.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Now Bridget, [Dm] you want to tell them how come you've been like a daughter [Em] to me for all these years?
[Dm] Because you're my father. _
[G] That's very true, very true.
You look absolutely lovely this evening.
What have you been doing to [D] yourself?
Growing up. _
Well, don't be in such a hurry.
I'll try not to.
Good girl.
You know, I've always found her to be a very [F] sensible, level-headed child.
Thank you, Daddy.
You're welcome.
[Am] Now, is there anything you'd like to talk about while [Bm] we're out here?
Yes.
Who really was [Dm] your favorite leading lady in the movies?
_ [Gm] _ What happened to that sensible, level-headed child I raised?
[G] Did I say [Em] the wrong thing?
No, but if I [Fm] answer you, [Bm] I will.
_ [Fm] However, let me ask you this, Bridget.
You've seen most of [Em] my movies on television.
Who was your [Am] favorite?
I was always so busy watching you.
[Dm] I never really noticed anyone else on screen.
[B] _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I told you she was level-headed and sensible.
_ _ Well, anyway, if you have any other questions, take your best shot if you do ask [G] me anything.
Yes.
[C] What was it [Em] like to dance with Sid Cherise?
Ah, well, Sid was really something.
_ When she made an entrance, _ it was as if time stood still.
_ All eyes would immediately focus on her.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Boy, oh boy, it must have taken an awful lot of guts for you to show up here tonight knowing you had to go on after me. _
_ _ _ Yes, it did. _
It did?
You have just made a friend for life.
Well, I'm glad.
Uh, _ tell me, Miss Cherise, may I call you Sid?
Why, of course.
Tell me, Sid, um, what was it like dancing with Gene Kelly?
Oh, well, Gene was just the best.
Oh, he made us all look good.
I remember in Brigadoon, there was one move I had such trouble with.
It went like this. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Isn't it amazing?
I had difficulty. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I had difficulty with that exact same step.
Well, girls, let me explain to you.
Both of you, you see, after you pivot on your left foot, this should happen on the third count.
And then the right hand goes out.
Do you understand that?
I'll bet you say that to all the girls. _ _
Hiya, Sid. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hello, Gene.
My, it's good to see you.
Good to see you.
Oh, and you still look like you're in good shape.
Would you like to dance?

_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
We're not going to do anything too [Am] fancy, are we? _
[Ab] Not me, not with all [Am] those people [Gm] sitting out [G] there. _
Let's take it [C] nice and [Am] easy. _
[Cm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm in no kind of hurry.
[Am] _
I've got [C] no cause to worry.
[Dm] Your _ [A] tempo's _ always [Dm] right.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
This is a [A] great reunion.
[C] He [G] is hoping they [C] will pull [E] out _ [G] every stop along the [D] way.
