Gal i (C)le o

But the (C)ques tion

and to his (Dm)blind

and dy ing days,

he looked up (Dm7)high

and of ten (G9)sighed,

and some times (G)cried,

β€œWho puts the rain bow in the (C)sky?

Who lights the (Cmaj7)stars at (Dm)night?

Who dreamt up some one so di (F)vine,

some one like you, and made them (C)mine?”

(E)Love
