ON THE WAY TO CAPE MAY

      D                            D      
You looked so very pretty, when we met in Ocean City,
      D            D#°7      Em7 A7
Like someone oh so easy to adore.
   Em7                            A7
I sang this little ditty, on our way through Ocean City,
Em7            E7               A7
Heading south along the Jersey shore.


N.C.                D    D#°7             Em7       A7
On the way to Cape May,       I fell in love with you.
                   Em7 A7             D             Am7   
On the way to Cape May,      I saw my dreams come true.
       D7       G          Gm7                   F#m7    B7(b9)   
I was taken by your smile       as we drifted by Sea Isle.
             E7                      A7sus4   
My heart was gone when we reached Avalon!


N.C.                D   D#°7                Em7          A7
On the way to Cape May,       Stone Harbor skies were blue.
                   Em7 A7                D       Am7   
We were naming the day,    when Wildwood came in view.
          D7       G          Gm7                           F#m7       B7(b9)   
If you're gonna be my spouse,       we better head for that court house,
                   E7   A7sus4                      D         
On the way to Cape May,          On the way to Cape May.
