C# G#
I was at a dance, when he caught my eye,
G#7 C#
standin' all alone lookin' sad and shy.
C#7 F#
We began to dance..swayin' to and fro,
C# G# C#
and soon I knew I'd never let him go.
Chorus:
C# G# C#
Blame it on the Bossa Nova with its magic spell,
G# C#
blame it on the Bossa Nova..that he did so well.
F#
Oh, it all began with just one little dance,
C#
but soon it ended up a big romance,
G# C#
blame it on the Bossa Nova, the dance of love.
2nd Chorus :

Now, was it the moon no, no, the Bossa Nova,
C#
or the stars above no, no, the Bossa Nova.

Now, was it the tune?yeah, yeah, the Bossa Nova
C# F# C#
the dance of love.
