Does anyone have the chords for "Keep Your Eyes On The Hands"?

This arrangement is basically the same as the original, except I added a few more passing chords. FWIW, the Bbdim chord is fingered (x1x1), and the Am7 chord is fingered (xxxx), like an open C6 voicing.

*Whenever your [G6]watching
a [D7]hula girl [G6]dance
You'd better be careful,
you're [Bb-dim]tempting ro[Am7]mance [D7]
Don't keep your eyes on her [Am7]hips,
her [D7]lovely hula [Am7]hips
[A7]Keep your eyes on the [D7]hands!

Remember she's [G6]telling
a [D7]story to [G6]you
Her opu is swaying,
but [Bb-dim]don't watch the [Am7]view [D7]
Don't concentrate on the [Am7]swing
It [D7]doesn't mean a [Am7]thing
[A7]Keep your [D7]eyes on the [G6]hands!

And when she [G7]goes around the island
Swaying hips so tantalizing
[C]Keep your eyes where they belong
And when that [A7]grass skirt goes swishing
Keep your head and don't go wishing --
[D7]That you would like to mow the lawn!

Your eyes are re[G6]vealing,
they're [D7]fooling no [G6]one
No use in concealing,
we're [Bb-dim]having some [Am7]fun [D7]
But if you're too young to [Am7]date,
Or [D7]over nighty [Am7]eight --
[A7]Keep your [D7]eyes on the [G6]hands!*

This is the tag you add when you do the last verse for the second time, at the very end:

*They tell a [E7]story
[A7]Just keep your
[D7]eyes on the [G6]hands!
*

Finger the E7: 12x2
Hopefully, this makes sense!

Mahalo,
