Lyrics
Some where there’s (G)mu sic,
how faint the (Gm)tune!
Some where there’s (F)heav en,
how high the (Fm)moon!
There is no (Eb)moon a bove when (Cm)love is far a way too.
Till it comes (G)true
that you love (Bb7)me as I love (Am7)you.
(CN.C.)Some where there’s (G)mu sic,
it’s where you (Gm7)are!
Some where there’s (F)heav en,
how near, how (Fm7)far!
The dark est (Eb)night would shine if (Cm)you would come to me (G)soon.
Un til you (Bb7)will, how still my (Am7)heart, how high the (G)moon!
(CN.C.)Some where there’s (G)mu sic,
how faint the (Gm)tune!
Some where there’s (F)heav en,
how high the (Fm)moon!
There is no (Eb)moon a bove when (Cm)love is far a way too.
Till it comes (G)true
that you love (Bb7)me as I love (Am7)you.
(CN.C.)Some where there’s (G)mu sic,
it’s where you (Gm7)are!
Some where there’s (F)heav en,
how near, how (Fm7)far!
The dark est (Eb)night would shine if (Cm)you would come to me (G)soon.
Un til you (Bb7)will, how still my (Am7)heart, how high the (G)moon!
(CN.C.)Some where there’s (G)moon!
