"The Way You Look Tonight" by the Jaguars
Words by: Dorothy Fields
Music by: Jerome Kern
Universal-Polygram International Publishing (ASCAP)
The Songwriters Guild (ASCAP)

This is my interpretation of the Jaguars version (the best recorded). Its
probably not exactly right.

I use the bar chords, playing the Eb at the 6th fret, the Cm at the 3rd fret,
the Ab at the 4th fret and the Bb7 at the 6th fret. The bridge just moves the
same progression up 3 frets.

Intro
Cm Ab Bb7

You can play this during the verses adding the Eb.
When you do this, each triplet gets two plays -

Eb Cm Ab Bb7
_____________________________________
__8___8____4___4____4___4____6___6___
_8___8____5___5____5___5____7___7____
8___8____5___5____6___6____6___6_____

or, just play the chords. The same pattern repeats all through the song,
cycling evenly, 1 chord per bar, with one exception, noted.

(Verse 1)

(Bridge - notice the Bbm in place of the expected Db7 (at the word, "nose"), and
the following 4 bars are different than the preceding pattern, the Bbm holding
over a 2nd bar)

F# Ebm B Db7

(Verse 3 - some differences from the pattern on the ending. Work them out from
the record.)

(ohhhhh ummmmmmmmm)
