[Ab]
This [Db] heart of mine keeps decent time
Though my ears may be weak and my eyes may be [Ebm] all that lie
[Gb]
I [Gbm] still have sense [Db] of duty [Eb] and
[Bbm] I'm not [Gb] much without [Ab] you, dear
I've paid [Bbm] my due, loved one or [Db] two
[Ab]
[Db] But still, it keeps a more than a [Bbm] crown to [Ebm] [Gb] you
So choose to be [C] my victory [Bbm] or my [G] end
Oh, either [Gb] way, I [C] still want [Gb] you [C] here tonight

[Ebm] Heaven [Bb] knows, tomorrow, [Ebm]
oh, [Bbm] hell knows
It's got a home [G] for folks like [Eb] me
[Gb] There will come a day, [Ab] when the earth will cease to spin
[Gb] But hold me close and say, [Ebm]
my [Fm] God, where [Ab] have you been?
[Bb] [Fm]
[Db] I've been around, old Chinatown
Carefully lost, but oh, so [Gb] easily found
There grounding the stones above [Bbm] the [Db] hill
[Eb]
Meet [Gb] some old fool, humming [Ab] my tune
[Bb]
I'll [C] see you
[Db] [G] [Dbm]
