Chords for Fanny Brice - My Man (1938)

Seventeen years ago, a brilliant audience of first-nighters
trooped into the Globe Theatre on Broadway
for the opening of another Ziegfeld Follies,
an annual affair which had already become
a significant event for New York and the theatre.
That night, the crowd cheered the glorified Glamour Girls,
laughed with such comedians as W.C. Fields and Raymond Hitchcock,
but the highlights of the show,
the moment that electrified the audience, were the songs.
The scene was the Mo-Mart section of Paris,
the singer, a cabally-dressed girl leaning against the lamppost.
Ever since that night, the song and the singer
have been linked in the popular imagination.
And so, we are happy to yield to popular demand this evening
and present this great artist singing a song he made famous. _
Ladies and gentlemen, Fanny Bryce Sings.

_ [Bbm] I've been a woman _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
Taught me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
_ It's [F] my _ mind
_ _ _ Cold and wet, I do bet
But all that I soon [C] forget
[Gbm] With [Bbm] my _ mind
_ _ _ [F] _ [Bbm] He's not much for look
And no hero out of book
_ Is my [F] _ mind
[F] _
_ _ Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
[Bbm] But I love him
[F] _ [Bbm] Don't know why I [Bbm] should
He isn't [F] good, he isn't [Bb] true
_ He [Gb] beats me too _
[Ab] What [Gb] can I [C] do?
[F] _ _ [Cm] _
_ Oh [Bb] my _ God
[C] I love [Db] him so [Ab] _ _ [Fm] He'll never
_ [Bbm] _ _ All [Db] my life he's just a [Ebm] stare
But _ I [Ab] don't care
[Bb] When he takes me [Ab] in his arms
The world is [Ebm] bright
[Ab] _ _ [Db] All [D] right
_ [Ab] _ [Bb] And what's the difference
If [Db] I change
_ I'll go away
[Bbm] _
When I know
I'll come [Ebm] back
On my knees
_ [Gb] _ [Eb] Someday
_ For whatever
_ My [Db] man is
I am [Bbm] his _ _
[Eb] Forever
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Cm] _ Oh [Bb] my _ [Ab] _ [C] God
_ [Db] I [Bbm] love him so
He'll never
All [Bb] my life he's just a stare
_ [Ab] _ But I don't care
[Bb] When he takes me in his arms
The world [Ebm] is bright
_ _ [Ab] _ [Db] All right
[D] _
_ [Ab] _ And what's [Bb] the difference
If I change
[Fm] _
_ [Bbm] I'll go away
When I know
I'll come [Ebm] back
On my knees
_ [Eb] Someday
_ For whatever
_ My [Db] man is
_ _ I [Bbm] am his
_ _ [Eb] Forever
Oh my _ _
