D#         Cm7             Fm7       A#7
 A country dance was being held in a garden
D#        Cm7                Fm7          G7
 I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon"
Cm7         B+ D#/bb          Gm7   F#m7
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
Fm7                    D#  A#7
All around a pugnosed dream

D#         Cm7            Fm7      A#7
The music started and was I the perplexed one
D#         Cm7              Fm7            G7
I held my breath and said "May I have the next one?"
Cm7              B+    D#/bb          Gm7    F#m7
In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Fm7           A#           D#
Sparkled on a pugnosed dream

Chorus:
D7          G       Gmaj7 G#dim
There were questions
       Am7           D7
in the eyes of other dancers
G     Am9     A#dim G/B      Am7 D
As we floated over  the floor
            G       G#dim
There were questions
       Am7                D7
but my heart knew all the answers
G      A#6    Fm7        A#7
And perhaps a few things more

D#        Cm7             Fm7        A#7
Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter
D#         Cm7             Fm7            G7
I know the meaning of the words "Ever after"
Cm7              B+  D#/bb          Gm7    F#m7
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
Fm7             A#         D# C#9 D#
When I kiss the pugnosed dream.
