Lyrics

I’ve flown a (Ebdim7)round the world in a (Dm7)plane;

I’ve set tled (A)rev o lu tions in (D7)Spain;

the North Pole (Ebdim)I have chart ed, but (G7)can’t get start ed with (C)you.

A round a (Ebdim)golf course I’m un der (Dm7)par,

and all the (A)mov ies want me to star.

I’ve got a (Ebdim)house, a show place, but (G7)I got no place with (C)you.

You’re so su (Em7)preme,

(A7)lyr ics I write of you, (D6)scheme

(D6)just for a sight of you, (Dm7)dream

(G7)both day and night of you.

(C)And

(A7)what

(Am7)good does (D7)it (G7)do?

In nine teen (Ebdim)twen ty nine I sold (Dm7)short;

in Eng land (A)I’m pre sent ed at court,

but you’ve got (A7)me down heart ed ’cause I (G7)can’t get start ed with (C)you.
