                  Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7
Do you remember 
C#m7     F#m7             Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7
the 21st night of September?
C#m7                               F#m7             Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
C#m7       C#7/E#  F#m7    Gmaj7/A
While chasing the clouds away


[Verse 2]

Our hearts were ringing

In the key that our souls were singing.

As we danced in the night,

Remember how the stars stole the night away


[Chorus]

Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7     Gmaj7/A
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya 
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7

My thoughts are with you
        C#m7            F#m7    Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7
Holding hands with your heart to see you
         C#m7      F#m7            
Only blue talk and love,
Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7  C#m7             C#7/E#       F#m7     Gmaj7/A
Remember                    how we knew love was here to stay

    Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7            C#m7     F#m7          Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7
Now December         found the love that we shared in September.

Only blue talk and love,
Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7  C#m7             C#7/E#       F#m7     Gmaj7/A
