Body And Soul

Written by Virginia Stauffer

Key of A · Chords: I IV V VII

Verse 1

    A    G     A
See that train coming round the bend,
             G        E7
Carrying the one that I love
    A         D    A
Her beautiful body is still here on earth,
        A    E7              A
But her soul has been called up above

Chorus

     A   G     A    D
Body and Soul, Body and Soul,
       A                 E7        A
That’s how she loved me, with Body and Soul

Verse 2

    A         G        A
Her beautiful hair was the purest of gold,
                 G       E7
Her eyes were as blue as the sea,
    A         D         A
Her lips were the color of summer’s red rose,
        A            E7           A
And she promised she would always love me

Verse 3

         A  G   A
Tomorrow as the sun sinks low
                 G     E7
The shadows will cover her face
   A            D          A
As her last sun goes down, she’s laid beneath the ground
       A         E7          A
And my teardrops are falling like rain
