Johnny Tillotson, Poetry in Motion (1961)
^{Key: :[Ab] (w: Paul Kaufman, Mike Anthony)}
INTRO:
[Ab open] When I see my baby
[Bbm open] What do I see?
[Cm] Poetry...
[Db] poetry in [Eb7] motion

VERSE 1:
[Ab] Poetry in [Fm] motion
[Bbm] Walkin' by my [Eb7] side
Her [Ab] lovely loco-[Fm]-motion
[Bbm] Keeps my eyes [Eb7] open wide

VERSE 2:
[Ab] Poetry in [Fm] motion
[Bbm] See her gentle [Eb7] sway
A [Ab] wave out on the [Fm] ocean
Could [Bbm] never [Eb7] move that [Ab] way

BRIDGE 1:
I [C7] love every [Fm] movement
There's [C7] nothing I would [Fm] change
She [C7] doesn't need im-[Fm]-provement
She's [Bb7] much too nice to [Eb7] rearrange

VERSE 3:
[Ab] Poetry in [Fm] motion
[Bbm] Dancing close to [Eb7] me
A [Ab] flower of de-[Fm]-votion
A [Bbm] swaying [Eb7] graceful-[Ab]-ly

BRIDGE 2:
Oh, a-[Fm]-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, [Bbm] whoa
A-[Eb7]-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, [Ab] whoa
Oh, a-[Fm]-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, [Bbm] whoa
A-[Eb7]-whoa...

REPEAT VERSE 2:

REPEAT BRIDGE 1:

VERSE 4:
[Ab] Poetry in [Fm] motion
[Bbm] All that I a-[Eb7]-dore
No [Ab] number-nine love [Fm] potion
Could [Bbm] make me [Eb7] love her [Ab] more

REPEAT BRIDGE 2:
