Biography:
Taco Ockerse (born July 21, 1955), known mononymously as Taco, is an Indonesian-born Dutch singer. He gained international stardom when in 1982 he recorded a distinctive cover record of the old Irving Berlin favorite, Puttin' on the Ritz in Germany, which made him famous early the next year (United States Billboard chart number 4). It has been reported that he did not speak any English at all and merely read the lyrics from transliterations, but this is false: Taco speaks English and almost always performed in English.

Written by Irving Berlin, as performed by Taco Ockerse. This is probably a pretty
simplified version. For the most part, it seems to fit Fred Astaire's recording as well
(specifically, the recording found on Astaire's Dancing Cheek to Cheek collection).
Though, for adapting this to any of the other numerous versions of Cheek to Cheek, bear in
mind that
Taco's rendition is performed in C, and modulates to D.
C F C F
Heaven, I'm in heaven
C Em Am Dm E-A
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
Dm G7 E-A
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Dm G(7) C
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven (cheek to cheek), I'm in heaven (cheek to cheek)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek (cheek to cheek)

Oh, I love to climb the mountain, and to reach the highest peak

[The song modulates here, moving up to D. I CANNOT figure out the chords to this section
-- if anyone could help me out by putting them in the comments it would be greatly
appreciated. What follows is my best guess]
