Dean Martin - Ain't That A Kick In The Head
 
[Intro]
alternate between D7 and C#7
then the second time just play major thirds on D and C#
or alternating between D7 and Dm7b5 also works
 
[Verses]
D
How lucky can one guy be;
  Dmaj7
I kissed her and she kissed me
         Dmaj7
Like the fella once said,
Ebm7b5                   Em
Ain't that a kick in the head?
    Em                  Em/maj7
The room was completely black
  Em7                       Em6
I hugged her and she hugged back.
         A
Like the sailor said, quote,
 A7                       D
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
             F#7
My head keeps spinning;
                      B7
I go to sleep and keep grinning;
                      E7
If this is just the beginning,
                  A7
My life's gonna be beautiful.
     D           Dmaj7    D7
I've sun- shine enough to spread;
     B7
It's like the fella said,
         E7
"Tell me quick
                  A7          D7
Ain't love like a kick in the head?"
 
D7 C#7 D7 C#7 D7 x2 (in the same way as the intro)
 
         Dmaj7
Like the fella once said,
Ebm7b5                   Em
Ain't that a kick in the head?
 
Em7 D#m7 Em7 D#m7 Em7 x2 (ditto but with minor thirds on the second time)
 
         A
Like the sailor said, quote,
 A7                       D
"Ain't that a hole in the boat?"
 
             F#7
My head keeps spinning;
                      B7
I go to sleep and keep grinning;
                      E7
If this is just the beginning,
                  A7
My life's gonna be beautiful.
      D          Dmaj7    D7
She's telling me we'll be wed;
      B7
She's picked out a king size bed.
  Em                Em7              F#7   B7
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick;
        E7                     Gm
Tell me quick, oh ain't love a kick?
        E7                  A7          D7
Tell me quick, ain't love a kick in the head?

Some bits almost sound right, but there's no way i could play the song using these chords.

Not the right chords in the beginning, Ebm7b5 is wrong, I guess it should be Bdim or so. Needs definitly a bit of rework.

Ebm7b5 should just be B7/D# (almost the same chord), and the chords for “I couldn’t feel any better or I’d be sick” should be E13 (the melody is the 13) A9 and THEN F#mi7b5 (melody is the m3) and B7. Then the next line should be E9 to C9#11 (2 bars each) for the first “tell me quick, oh ain’t love a kick.” Also, the A chord at the end of the forms seem like sus chords (again, the melody dictates since it is the 4th) so i just play G/A. The rest is great - good work and thank you. It’s not easy to hear all those voicings on those old recordings :-)
