I Didnt Know What Time It Was Tab

by Ella Fitzgerald


This is in the key I sing it in, but it can obviously be transposed into whatever 
you need. Please enjoy!!! 

I use a lot of jazz symbols so for those of you that don't know:
a (-) means minor. As in A#-7 = A#min7



-7         
I------- didn't know what time it was

-7           
Then------ I met you.

                      
Oh, what a lovely time it was,

                  (F#-7 )
How sublime it was too!


-7        
I------ didn't know what day it was

            
You---- hold my hand.

                          
Warm like the month of May it was,

                  -7  (F#-7 )
and I'll say it was grand.


             -7          
Grand to be alive, to be young,

                   
to be mad, to be yours alone!

                 
Grand-- to see your face, feel your touch,

                                (F#-7 )
hear your voice say I'm all your own.



-7         
I------- didn't know what year it was

-7           
life---- was no prize.

                            
I------ wanted love and here it was

                    -7  
shining out of your eyes.


-7-5  
I'm    wise----,
                                        Endings
                            1. E#-7-5  
and I know what time it is now.    2. B  B6
