[Em]
It [Am] isn't [A] by [E] chance [C#] I happen [E] to be
[Am] The bell [F] of the ball, [A#] [G#m] the toast [E] of Paris
[Em] [G] Over the noise, the talk [F] and the smoke
[F#] [E] I'm good for a [Cm] laugh, a drink [E] or a joke
[A]
I [Dm] walk in a room, [A]
a party [Dm] or a ball
[Cm] Come sit over [B] here, somebody [E] will call
[A]
A drink for [D] my friends, [G#m]
[B] [E] they'll call
[Dm] But how [Am] many times [Dm]
I [B] stop [Bm] and [Dm] recall
[G#] [E] [A]
Ah, [F#m]
the trees, [Bm]
[E] blossoms and the breeze
[A] That [F#m] we walk
[Bm] among, [E]
lying [A] in the hay
[F#m]
Games [Bm] we used to play
[C#]
[F#m] While the rounds were sung
[B] Only
[Bm] yesterday
[E]
When the world [A] was young
[A] [Am] Wherever I [B] go, [Am] they mention [B] my name
[Am]
And that it [G] [Cm] is some sort [Em] of fame
[D] [C] [Dm] Come by for a [G] drink, we are [Dm] having a game
[Am] Wherever [E] I go, [Cm]
I'm so glad [E] I can
The [A]
talk is [Dm] quite gay, [G] the company's [Dm] fine
[D#] [F] There's [Cm] [B]
men and glamouring [E] [D] ones [F] [G] of me
But [B]
[A#m] [Dm]
[F#] often my eyes [Dm] see a different
[E] shine
[A] Ah, [F#m]
the apple [Bm] trees, [E] sunlit memories
[A] Where [F#m] the hammock
[Bm] swung
[E] On our backs we [F#m] lie
[Bm] Looking at the sky
[C#]
Till the [F#m] storm
[B]
