E                   D9  
Maybe it's much too early in the game;  
E           E7        A                Am6  
Ah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same.   
E            C#7  F#7          B7 Cdim    E   C#7 B7  
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?  
E                      D9  
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight  
E           E7     A                   Am6  
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night

Welcoming in the new year, New Year's Eve. 
  
BRIDGE
  
G#m7            C#7  
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose  
G#m7            C#7  
I'd ever be the one you chose  
G#m7                C#7         F#7   Fdim      B7  
Out of the thousand invitations you'll receive. 
  
E                  D9  
Ah, but in case I stand one little chance,  
E               E7     A             Am6  
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:  
E            C#7    F#7        Gdim F#7  
What are you doing New Year's,

New Year's Eve?
