I Didn’t Know What Time It Was 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
[A#-7] [D#7] [G#m]
I------- didn't know what time it was
[A#-7] [D#7] [C#]
Then------ I met you.
[C#m]Oh, what a [G#m]lovely time it [D#m]was,[E]
How sublime it [D#m]was [C#m]too![(F#-7] [F#7)]
[A#-7] [D#7] [G#m]
I------ didn't know what day it was
[A#]You-[D#7]--- hold my h[C#]and.
[C#m]Warm like the m[G#m]onth of May it [D#m]was,[E]
and I'll [D#m]say it was g[C#-7]rand.[(F#-7] [F#7)]

[B]Grand to be al[C#-7]ive, to be y[D#7]oung,
to be [C#m]mad, to be y[D#7]ours al[G#m]one!
[E]Gra[F#7]nd-- to see your f[B]ace, feel your touch,
hear your voice say I'm [C#7]all your [C#m7]own.[(F#-7] [F#7)]
[A#-7] [D#7] [G#m]
I------- didn't know what year it was
[A#-7]life-[D#7]--- was no pr[C#]ize.
[C#m] [G#m] [D#m] [E]
I------ wanted love and here it was
shining out of your [C#-7]eyes.
[C#-7-5]I'm w[B]ise----,
