[A] [D]
[G] [F] [A]
[D] [Gm]
You [F] know, [Gb] it doesn't matter what Ella [A] Fitzgerald is singing.
It's been said that [C] she could hum the Yellow Pages and [G] bring down Carnegie Hall.
She has an [Gb] American sound, but [A] it's a universal sound.
[D] A sound where music lovers the world over [G] have only to hear a few bars to look at each other happily and [Gb] say,
[Cm] why that's Ella.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, [Ab] Miss Ella Fitzgerald.
[N]
[Gm] [A]
[Gm] But [Dm] I'm feeling [C] so [Cm] sad.
[F] I long to try [Cm] something [F] I've [B] never [Bb] had.
Never had no kissing.
[Eb]
Oh, what [Ab] I've been missing.
[Dbm]
[Gb] Lover, man, [C] oh, where [Bb] can you be?
[A] [Am] [Gm]
The night [C] is cold [Gm]
and I'm so [Bb] all alone.
[Cm]
I'd [F] give my soul [Cm]
just to [F] call on you [B] my [Bb] own.
Got a moon above [Eb] me, but [Ab] no one to love [Dbm] me.
[Gb] [Cm] Lover, man, oh, where [Eb] can you be?
[G] [C] [Dm] I [F] heard it said that [Dm] the thrill of [G] romance can [C] be [Dm] like a heavenly [Em] dream.
[Cm] I [F] go to [Cm] bed with a prayer [F] that you'd [Bb] make love to [G] me.
[Am] Strange [D] as it [G] seems.
[Bb] Someday you'll come
[Gm] and [C] dry all my tears [Cm] and [F] whisper sweet [Cm] little things [F] in my [B] ear.
[Bb] Just a huggin' and a kissin'.
[Eb] Oh, [Ab] what I've been [Dbm] missing.
Lover, [Dbm] man, oh, [F] where [Bb] can you be?
[G] [Bb]
[Dm] [D]
[Dm] That the thrill [G] [C] of romance can be [Dm] like [Em] a heavenly [G] dream.
[Cm] And I [F] go to bed with [Cm] a prayer [F] that you'd make love to [Bb] me.
[F] [Bb] [A] Strange [Ab] as it [Gm] seems.
Someday [C] you'll come [Gm]
and dry all my [E] tears and [Gb] whisper sweet [E]
[Ebm] little things in my [B] ear.
Just a huggin' and a kissin'.
[E] Oh, [G] what I've been missing.
[Dm]
Lover, [Em] man, [Db] where [C] can you be?
