MY HEART STOOD STILL 		ROD STEWART


KEY F



5     6   4   -4    -4
I laughed at sweet-hearts

5  6  4    -4
I met at schools

-4  -5b 4   4     4
All in-dis-creet hearts

  4    4   5   -4   4
Seemed ro-man-tic fools

5   6    4   6  6
A house in Ice-land

 6  5     -5b  -4  4
Was my heart's do-main

-4 5   -4   -5b
I saw your eyes

-4   5    -4   5  -5b  6
Now cast-les rise in Spain!


REFRAIN

4  4    4   -4   4  4
I took one look at you

  5     -4 4  -5b  5   -4
That's all I meant to do

 6   -5b 5   4     4     4
And then my heart stood still

4   4     4    -4   4   4
My feet could step and walk

5   -4    4    -5b  5   -4
My lips could move and talk

 6  -5b  5   4     4     4
And yet my heart stood still

  4     4  -4 5  -5b   6  -6b  -6b 6
Though not a sin-gle word was spo-ken

-5b 5     5   -4  -4
I could tell you knew

 4   4   -4    5   -4  -4
That un-felt clasp of hands

  4  4   4   5   -4  -4
Told me so well you knew

4  4   4   -4  4   4
I nev-er lived at all

5  -4   4    -6b   6  -5b 5   -4   4
Un-til the thrill of that mo-ment when

-4   4     -4    4
My heart stood still


VERSE 2

Trough all my school days
I hated boys
Those April Fool days
Brought me loveless joys
I read my plato
Love, I though a sin
But since your kiss
I’m reading Missus Glyn
