[Verse 2]
Thank you so much, my [D]dear friends,
for [A]that nice, [D]lovely applause,
[D]and thank you, [C]Mr. Goodman,
whoever an[A]nounced me,
for [D]this wonderful reception.
And ladies and gentlemen,
of course, it is a thrill once more,
final night to[C]night,
to [D]be here in beautiful [F]Chicago.
[Bb]Chicago, [D]Illinois.
And not only performing here
at the beautiful Quicksilver Club,
but also recording,
[C]which you [Bb]will all be on with your,
or whatever you do [C]here.[D]
And I hope, but these songs,
and I never mind [C]dancing, I wanna repeat it,
because sometimes they don't dance,
they're afraid to dance.
I never mind dancing
[A]here at any time.
[C]These songs you may or
may not remember,
but [Bb]every one of them [C]down memory [D]lane
in the years [Bb]when they wrote them
with great melodies
in the 10s and the fives
and the 20s and 30s, 40s,
and from great artists
whose names you may not know,
but Billy Murray,
one of the great early singers of 1905
[C]who [Bb]made your grand
old flag famous.
[D]Henry Burr,
who made [F]mother famous
and many more.
Before we go on, however,
no show will be completed
and whoever stays afterwards,
of course,
I'll sign whatever you get.
How about a great hand
for the fabulous New Duncan
[D]Imperials?[Dm]
[D]Featuring on the bass, [Bb]Mr. Skipper.[C][D]
And on the wonderful guitar,
Mr. Pig[Bb]tail.
On the drums, Mr. Goodtime.
An[D]d on [Eb]the piano,
[D]the fabulous [Bb]playing of
[C]Mr. Crispy.[F][Bb][F]
[Bb]And thank you, and[D] thank you, Mr. Tigger,
[C]for bringing me up [D]here.
And also, [Bb]Mr. [D]Colonel,
for push[C]ing me in,
putting the plug in, whatever.
These wonderful, wonderful songs,
these early songs right [Bb]now.
this one you may know
[C]of course from Elvis Presley,
but [Bb]it was also made famous back in 1928
[A]by various artists of [D]their day
[C]from Frank[D]lin [A]Bauer,
Gene Austin,
Vic[D]tor Recording Stars
and many more.
Maestro,
the key of [Bb]C please.[Bbsus4][Bb][Cm]
Does your memory [F]stray [Fm]to th[F]at
bright summer[Fm]'s day
When [F]I kissed you and c[Bb]alled
[F]you [Bb]sweetheart?
Does the chair in your parlor
seem empty [Eb]and bare?
Do you [C]gaze at your doorstep
and picture [Cm]me there?
[F]Where is your [Bb]heart filled with pain,
shall I [C]come back again,
tell me [Eb]dear, are you [F]lonesome tonight?
[Bb]The [F]band[Bb] is playing,
the crowd is here,
but where are you my [F]dear,
as I stand here an[Fm]d
Wondering [C]when you'll [F]fall
Are [Bb]you lonesome tonight,
do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted
[F]apart?[Cm][Fm]
[F]Does your [Cm]memory stray
to that wonderful day
When I kissed you
and called [Fm]you s[F]weetheart?
[Bb]Does the chair [Eb]in your parlor
seem empty [Bb]an d [Eb]bare?
Do you [C]gaze at your doorstep
and [F]picture me there?
Is [Bb]your heart filled with pain?
Shall [C]I come back again?
Tell me, [Eb]dear,
are [Cm]you [F]lonesome tonight?
[Bb]Honey, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Is your heart [Bb]filled with pain?
Shall I come [C]back again?
Tell me, [Cm]dear,
are you [F]lonesome tonight?
[Bb]Thank you, God bless you,
and another great song for that period of time,
Maestro, the key of D for this great song.
