The Third Man Theme

• C

C
When a zither starts to play 
Dm
You'll remember yesterday 
G7
In its haunting strain 
G7
Vienna lives again 
Am                  G
Free and bright and gay 
C
In your mind a sudden gleam 
Dm
Of a half forgotten dream 
G7                                            C   G
Seems to glimmer when you hear the third man theme 

C
Once again there comes to mind 
Dm
Someone that you left behind 
G7
Love that somehow didn't last 
Am                         
In that happy city of the past 
A7
Does she still recall the dream 
     Dm
That rapture so supreme 
G7                                          C
When first she heard the haunting third man theme? 

C                           Am
Carnivals and carousels and Ferris wheels and parasols 
C                                    Am
The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine 
    G
The zither's sweet refrain 
G
Keeps swirling in your brain 
G
Like new may wine 
G7
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow 
G7
And the laughter of long ago 
                                              C
Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today 

    C
You never knew that you could be 
                 G
Enchanted by a melody 
                     G7
The years will never drive it out 
G7
You don't know why 
                              C
It's something you can't live without 
    C
You hear it in the twilight hush 
                           G
And in the morning traffic rush 
   G7
A song that's always new 
                        C
In your heart a part of you 

C
When a zither starts to play 
Dm
You'll remember yesterday 
G7
In its haunting strain 
G7
Vienna lives again 
Am                  G
Free and bright and gay 
C
In your mind a sudden gleam 
Dm
Of a new-remembered dream 
G7                                            C   G
shines so brightly when you hear the third man theme
G7                                            C   G
shines so brightly when you hear the third man theme
G7                                            C   G
shines so brightly when you hear the third man theme
