Night and Day Chords & Lyrics by Cole Porter
Night and Day
guitar chords lyrics
Great jazz standard. Was asked for the chords so here they are.
For the downward progression in the line "Whether near to me or far, etc." I'd
recommend starting with the Gbm7b5 up around the 9th fret. As opposed to way down
on the 2nd and then switching when you go to the Ebdim7. But that probably goes without saying.
Leading into the Dm7b5 with a Dbm7b5 works quite nicely. Or a Dbdim7. Also cool.
Oh, and I think I play a G13 more often than I play a straight G7. Just sounds a little better.

Dm7b5 G7 Cmaj7
Night and day you are the one
Dm7b5 G7 Cmaj7
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Gbm7b5 Fm7 Em7 Ebdim7
Whether near to me or far it's no matter darling where you are
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
I think of you day and night
Dm7b5 G7 Cmaj7
Night and day why is it so
Dm7b5 G7 Cmaj7
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
Gbm7b5 Fm7 Em7 Ebdim7
In the roaring traffic's boom in the silence of my lonely room
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
I think of you day and night
Ebmaj7 Cmaj7
Night and day under the hide of me
Ebmaj7 Cmaj7
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
Gbm7b5 Fm7
And this torment won't be through
Em7 Ebdim7 Dm7
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
G7 Cmaj7
Day and night
