Johnny Tillotson, Poetry in Motion (1961)
Key: :[A] (w: Paul Kaufman, Mike Anthony)

INTRO:
[A open] When I see my baby
[Bm open] What do I see?
[C#m] Poetry...
[D] poetry in [E7] motion

VERSE 1:
[A] Poetry in [F#m] motion
[Bm] Walkin' by my [E7] side
Her [A] lovely loco-[F#m]-motion
[Bm] Keeps my eyes [E7] open wide

VERSE 2:
[A] Poetry in [F#m] motion
[Bm] See her gentle [E7] sway
A [A] wave out on the [F#m] ocean
Could [Bm] never [E7] move that [A] way

BRIDGE 1:
I [C#7] love every [F#m] movement
There's [C#7] nothing I would [F#m] change
She [C#7] doesn't need im-[F#m]-provement
She's [B7] much too nice to [E7] rearrange

VERSE 3:
[A] Poetry in [F#m] motion
[Bm] Dancing close to [E7] me
A [A] flower of de-[F#m]-votion
A [Bm] swaying [E7] graceful-[A]-ly

BRIDGE 2:
Oh, a-[F#m]-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, [Bm] whoa
A-[E7]-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, [A] whoa
Oh, a-[F#m]-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, [Bm] whoa
A-[E7]-whoa...

REPEAT VERSE 2:

REPEAT BRIDGE 1:

VERSE 4:
[A] Poetry in [F#m] motion
[Bm] All that I a-[E7]-dore
No [A] number-nine love [F#m] potion
Could [Bm] make me [E7] love her [A] more
