I was at a dance when he caught my  
G7 
eye  
 
 
Standin' all alone lookin' sad and  
C 
shy  
 
 
We began to dance  
C7 
swaying' to and  
F 
fro  
 
 
And  
C 
soon I knew  
G7 
I'd never let him  
C 
go  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Blame it on the bossa  
G7 
nova with its magic  
C 
spell  
 
 
 
Blame it on the bossa  
G7 
nova that he did so  
C 
well  
C7 
 
 
 
 
Oh, it all began with  
F 
just one little dance  
 
 
 
But soon it ended  
C 
up a big romance  
 
 
 
Blame it on the bossa  
G7 
nova  
 
 
 
The dance of  
C 
love  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now was it the  
G7 
moon? No, no, the bossa nova  
 
 
 
Or the stars a
