{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
Buona [Eb6]sera, signorina, buona sera
It is [Eb6]time to say goodnight to Napo[Bb7]li
Though it's [Bb7]hard for us to whisper, "Buona sera"
With that old [Bb7]moon above the Mediterranean [Eb6]Sea
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
In the [Eb6]mornin', signorina, we'll go walkin'
Where the [Eb6]mountains help the [Eb7]sun come into [Ab]sight
And by the [Abm]little jewelry [Abm6]shop, we'll stop and [Eb6]linger
While I [Bb7]buy a wedding ring for your [Eb6]finger
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
In the [Eb6]meantime, let me [Eb7]tell you that I [Ab]love you [Adim7]
Buona [Eb6]sera, signo[Bb6]rina, kiss me good[Eb6]night
Buona [Bb7]sera, signorina, kiss me good[Eb6]night [NC]
