I have an ear for mu sic, (D#7)and (D7)I have an eye for a (G)maid.

I hear a pret ty girl ie, (D#7)with (D7)each pret ty tune that’s (G)played.

They go to geth (Cdim)er, like sun ny (Dm)weath (E7)er goes with the (Em)month (A7)of (Am7)May.

(G)I’ve stud ied girls and mu sic, (D#7)so (D7)I’m qual i fied to (G)say: (C9)A (B7)pret (Bb7)ty (A7)girl

is (C#maj7)like (A7)a (Bm)mel o (D7)dy

that (G)haunts you (Gm)night (G)and day,

(G7)Just like the (C)strain

of a (Cm)haunt ing re (Gmaj7)frain,

(C)she’ll (A7)start up on (Em7)a (A7)mar a thon and (D7)run a (C)round your (D9)brain.

(C9)You (B7)can’t (Bb7)es (A7)cape

By (G)morn ing, (G9)night (G7)and (C)noon

She will (F#7)leave you and (B9)then

(E7)come back a (Am)gain.

A pret ty (F7)girl is (D7)just like a pret ty (G)tune.

A (B7)pret (Bb7)ty (A7)girl

is (C#maj7)like (A7)a (Bm)mel o (D7)dy

that (G)haunts you (Gm)night (G)and day,

(G7)Just like the (C)strain

of a (Cm)haunt ing re (Gmaj7)frain,
