The Look Of Love’s chords and progressions

The sensational Burt Bacharach ballad The Look Of Love will have different chords depending on who you ask. As a jazz standard it’s been re-harmonized so many times I sometimes find it unrecognizable.

With this in mind, let’s just stick with Dusty Springfield‘s version since that’s the most famous one and also, because the chords can easily become a great acoustic fingerstyle arrangement.

After listening to Dusty’s version, this is what I would play for all of The Look Of Love’s verse chords:

| C#m7 | C#7sus4 | G#m7 | G#m7 |
| Amaj7 | A6 | G#7sus4 | G#7 |
| C#m7 | C#7sus4 | A6 | A6 |
| Am6 | Emaj7 E7 | Amaj7 | Amaj7 |
| G#7sus4 G#7 | C#m7 F#7 |

And here’s what I would play for the chorus.

| Emaj7 I B11 | B11 | 2/4 B11 |
| 4/4 Emaj7 I B11 | B11 |

The solo is just a verse. The outro has new chords, this is what I would play if I played The Look Of Love’s chords tonight, with a singer.

| C#7sus4 | C#7sus4 | F#m9 | F#m9 |
| F#m7 | B11 | B11 | Emaj13 |
