I Get A Kick Out Of You Chords & Tabs

by Frank Sinatra

[Version Description]
A wonderful Cole Porter tune made famous by Frank Sinatra.
Capo I for the original key of Eb
Not easy to take an old jazz standard and arrange it for just guitar. This version uses a lot of open
chords and is played near the nut so you can capo for your voice. The Em7 I suggest will give a softer, more
mellow sound than the usual Em7.

[Intro]
D6          Em7       A7       D6   
My story is much too sad to be told,
Em7     A7      Dmaj7        Em7       A7     D6  
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
D6          Em7       A7         F#maj7 D#m7
The only exception I know is the case
G#m7     C#7      F#maj7      D#m7
When I'm out on a quiet spree,
G#m7      C#7           F#m7  
Fighting vainly the old ennui,
B7              Em7     A7                D6   C#7 E9 A7
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.

[Verse]
Em7      A7              Dmaj7 F#m7
I get no kick from champagne.
Em7      A7          Dmaj7        F#m7B7
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
B7    Em7     A7          Am/F#    B7  
So    tell me why should it be     true
B7    Em7          A7     D6  
That  I get a kick out of you?

[Verse]
Em7      A7             Dmaj7F#m7 B7
Some—they may go for cocaine.
Em7      A7          Dmaj7        F#m7 B7
I'm sure that if   I took even one sniff
B7   Em7     A7         Am/F#    B7
It would bore me terrifically, too.
B7    Em7          A7     D6
Yet I get a kick out of you.

[Bridge]
Am7      D9         Am7     D7
I get a kick every time I see
     Am/F#         B7     B7 
You standing there before me.
Em7     C#m7             Am/F#    B7 
I get a kick though it's clear to see
    E9                Em7  A7
You obviously don’t adore me.

[Verse]
Em7      A7             Dmaj7 F#m7 B7
I get no kick in a plane.
Em7      A7               Dmaj7      F#m7 B7
Flying too high With some gal in the sky
B7    Em7     A7         Am/F# B7
Is my idea of nothing to do.
B7    Em7        A7 D6
Yet I get a kick—um,
Em7           A7  D6
You give me a boot

[Outro]
B7    Em7           A7  D6
I get a kick out of you.
