Hi all. I'm playing for a anniversary party in a couple of days and I've been asked for "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Can anyone point me to the dots or abc file online? It's the melody I need, not necessarily words or chords.

Thanks, Marion

Don't know where dots might be on the web, but it's in several of the Hal Leonard "Real" fake books. I have it in the "Real Ultimate," "Real Little," and "Real Jazz" books - appears to be identical in all three - in Eb for the 16 bar "verse," with a shift to B for 6 bars, then back to Eb for the closing 10.

300 dpi scan to jpg is 205KB, or pdf is 622KB. PM an email addy, and I can forward either, if you don't find something more convenient.

For search purposes, it's lyrics by OTTO HARBACH and music by JEROME KERN, ©1933 by PolyGram International Publishing. It says "copyright renewed," but Hal Leonard sometimes is a little vague about such things. Can't say for sure whether it's currently ©.

The audio Micca linked sounds pretty much true to the Hal Leonard dots, although I didn't play along for verification.

As I recall from high school, the first verse goes:

"They asked me how I knew,
Turtle s*** was blue.
Naturally, I said,
'You have been misled
Turtle s*** is red...."

there is a midi file of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

I use music notation software, e.g. Noteworthy (which you can get a free demo version of and you can print from the demo, but it's very cheap and worth it for playing around with music/midis etc) and then load the midi file into it, listen to it, transpose it if necessary and then print out the dots.

But, because you are in a hurry on this request I have copied the dots into an MsWord file for you and I will PM you with my email address so that I can send it to you.

The above link to The Platters version is inactive. Listen to theirs here, instead.
