I saw her standing there

Lennon / McCartney – Beatles: Please Please Me (1963)

 


E7                                A7                  E7

Well she was just seventeen, if you know what I mean

   B7     Riff

And the way she looked was way beyond compare,

       E                  E7/Ab            A7      C              E7          B7          E7

So how could I dance with another,    when I saw her standing there.

 

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see,

That before too long I'd fall in love with her.

She wouldn't dance with another,   when I saw her standing there.

 

                A7

Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room,

   B7     Riff  A6

And I held her hand in mine...    

 

     E7                                                A7                       E7

Well we danced through the night, and we held each other tight,

   B7     Riff

And before too long I fell in love with her.

          E                       E7/Ab            A7       C                        E7         B7            E7

Now I'll never dance with another,    since I saw her standing there.

 

Solo:  E7  B  E7  A  E7  B7 

 

Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room,

And I held her hand in mine...    

 

Well we danced through the night, and we held each other tight,

And before too long I fell in love with her.

Now I'll never dance with another,    since I saw her standing there.

Since I saw her standing there.

 E7          B7           E       E

Since I saw her standing there.
