[Verse 1]
[Ebdim]I used[Dm][Adim][Bdim][Ebdim][Bdim]
[Ebdim]to believ[Bdim]e in th[Ebdim]e days[Bdim]
I was pure and [Ebdim]I was pur[Adim]e like y[Ebdim]ou[Bdim]
[Am]used to be my [Ebdim]wonderful [Bdim]someone
[E]will come to [Bdim]me someday
and [Ebdim]then it will [C#]all depend [Am]on me.
If he's a [Fm]good man,
[Ab]if he's a rich man,
wears a [Fm]fine cravat, smokes a ci[Am]gar,
and [Bbm]if he's gallant and
treats me [Bb]like a [Dm]lady,
then [Bbdim]I shall tell him sorry.[Am][Dm]
[C]Chi[Ddim]n up high, keep you[Cm]r potter dry[C]
don't re[Gm]lax or go [Dm]too far.
Look, the moon is gonna
[Bbdim]shine til[Bbm]l dawn.
[Gm]Keep the little rowboats
[C]cruising on [F]and on.
You stay per[F#dim]pendicu l[Bbdim]ar. you l[Edim]ove.[E]
[A]Oh, you can't [Bb]just[Dm] let a
man walk [Ebsus4]over you.[A]
Cold an[Eb]d digni[A]fied is what [Am]you are.
[Dm]Such a who[Bb]le lot o[Gm]f th[F]ing
[Dm]s can [Gm]hap [Edim]pen,
[Gm]so firml[Dm]y say,[A] but[Bbdim] sweetly,
[A]sor[Dm]ry.
[G#]One day [Bdim]comes a man,
[Dm]but what kind of a [Am]man,
do you know why he does what he does?
He walked [Ebdim]in to my room
[Bm]and he hung up his h[A]at,
[Ebdim]and I just d[G#]idn't know where I w[Am]as.
He was [Fm]a mean man.
[Ab]He was a mean man.
He didn't [Fm]own a pro[G#]fane,
smoke no cigar,
[Am]and God know[Bbm]s
he never made me feel [Dm]a lady.
And there [Bbdim]just wasn't time [Am]for sorry
[G#]Chin [G]up high, [G#]my chin was [Adim]down,
my [Am]shoes and I re[Gm]laxed
But far [Dm]too far
Oh, the way the moon [Bbdim]kept shining [Bbm]on
The [Bbdim]night was [Gm]nice for rowing
[C]and this [F]girl was gone [Am]not
so [F#dim]per pendi[Bbdim]cu lar.[E]
[A]So you let[Bb] a man[Dm] just walk[Bdim]
[Eb]right over [A]you
[Ebdim]who said [A]digni[Eb]fied is[A]
what you [Dm]are.[Am][Dm]
[A]Such [Bb]a terrible [Dm]lot of wonderful
things did [Gm]happen,
[Edim]and all [Gm]it's[A] you can tell [Bbdim]me,[Eb]
[Bb]sorry.[Am]
