You [Db] got to understand what, [Cm] you got to know the song that you're singing, [F] who wrote the song, and [Bb] then, and what, [Ab] who wrote the song?
_ [F] _
[Bbm] Who wrote the song you're going to sing?
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] Cole Porter.
_ _ [C] _
[Ab] Italian fella.
_ _ [Eb] He was in L.A. and he went to Las Vegas, and then he figured, well, he'd take [Bbm] another trip, so he went to New York.
[Ab] And then he [Fm] went across, and some cats met [Bb] him by the bottom of a [Cm] rock, and they went up in the [F] mountains and they grooved, they had a little can.
[Bb] _ You [Ab] got to know the whole story.
