G#   F#   F#/C#   C# 

C#                            Bb7 
   Neither the flowers on the hill, 
       D#m              F#m 
Or the moonlight on the sea, 
     C#   G(b5)     F#    D#m 
Have ever looked so blue. 
    C#   Gdim        F#m6 C# 
And everything looks new again, 
        F7    C#     F# 
In that old familiar way. 

    C#           Bb7 
The view from my room, 
       D#m          F#m 
Of the ships on the bay, 
            C#      G(b5)       F#       D#m 
Had come to bore me through and through. 
         C#    Gdim    F#m6 C# 
But they suddenly seem new again, 
        G#m   C#7    F# 
In that old familiar way. 

    F7       F#        G#               G#7   C# 
The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree, 
    A                      E 
Had long gone unnoticed by me. 
    F7              F#            C# 
I'm stunned by what now I finally see. 
     D#7 
It's amazing the wonders you can find, 
        G#7 
Just by stepping outside. 

C#   G#    F#    F#/C#   C# 

There's a skip in my step, a divine state of joy, 
In everything I do. 
Cause I am feeling new again, 
In that old familiar way. 

When I'm awoken from my dreams, 
By a cuckoo on the roof, 
I always join in too. (Cuckoo!) 
And every sound sounds new again, 
In that old familiar way. 

The life I used to know when I was busy, always on the go, 
Left me with nothing to show. 
Now I feel that I can honestly say, 
I'm living a suitable life. 
I'm glad I finally got it right.
