I've
got you under my skin,__________I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin____________________________
tried____ hard,_________ not to give in____________ I said to myself,"this af
fair never will go so well"_______but why shuld I try to re-sist when darling I
know so well, I've got you under my skin__________I'd sacrifice anything
come what may, for the sake of having you near, in spite of a warning voice that
comes in the night and repeats and repeats in my ear, "Don't you know little fool,
you never can win"?________use your men-tal i ty, wakeup to re-al i ty__
but each time that I do, just the thought of you makes me stop! before I begin, 'cause I
got you under my skin, yes I got you under my skin..........Hmnn,'cause I've
got you un--der my skin
Cole Porter wrote this Jazz standard in 1936. It ws first sung by Eleanor Powel in the MGM film "Born to Dance". It was immediately nminated for an academy award. In 1966, Sinatra iinluded it in one of his albums and it became the "top hit for four seasons". In 1976 Sinatra sang the song to an arrangement by Nelson Riddle who gave it a big swing-band treatment which built up tp successive climaxes. Riddle is said to have fashioned this on the classical music of Ravel and perticularly on his "Bolero". Well it worked for Sinatra. In fact it went on working for Sinatra for decades as he re-recorded many versions of it right up to his death!
In playing this song on four strings you are aware of the close harmony built upon a few notes or chords which repeat in slightly different progressions - yet one gets no sense of repetition because the chords are so well balanced yet edgy!
