Ella Fitzgerald -
It's Only a Paper Moon
(Yip Harburg, Billy Rose, Harold Arlen)
G E7 Am7 D7Say, it's only a paper moon,
D D9 G D7 G D9Sailing over a cardboard sea,
G E7 Am7 D7But it wouldn't be make believe,
Am7 D7 G D7If you believed in me.
G E7 Am7 D7Yes, it's only a canvas sky,
D D9 G D7 G D9Hanging over a muslin tree,
G E7 Am7 D7But it wouldn't be make believe,
Am7 D7 G G7If you believed in me.
Bridge:
Am7 Gdim Bm Bm7Without your love,
Am7 D7 G G7It's a honky tonk parade,
Am7 Gdim Bm Bm7Without your love,
G E7 A9 D7+5It's a melody played at a penny arcade.
G E7 Am7 D7It's a Barnum and Bailey world,
D D9 G D7 G D9Just as phony as it can be,
G E7 Am7 D7But it wouldn't be make believe,
Am7 D7 GIf you believed in me.
