Chords with lyrics

Intro:
E7E7


A minorAm              F9F9
I've had much good luck as a performer

A minorAm                C/DC/D  D9D9
I've been cast in almost every show

   F7F7      C/EC/E  Dm7Dm7      C7C7
From Carousel to Hair on Broadway I was there

      Bm7Bm7    Esus4Esus4 E7E7
But you'd never never know

  A minorAm                 F9F9
Perhaps you picked me out last year in Phantom

  A minorAm             C6/D D9D9
Or underneath my dirt in miser - a - ble

      F7F7        C/EC/E       Dm7Dm7      C7C7
But if you tried to pick me out from all the voices in the crowd

   Bm7Bm7               Esus4Esus4  E7E7
I am certain that you must have had a probl - eh


  A7sus      A7A7     A7/D        Dm/F
My plight is quite familiar to those who tread the boards

    E minor 7Em7
At the Neberlander

A7sus  A7A7  A7/D  DmDm
Schubert or Rialto


       FF      F#dim7F#dim7
Although I've got a great high C majorC

   C/GC/G       A9A9
The reaction seems to be

C/DC/D
"ooh that's great dear...

    D9D9        F/GF/G
But we need you to sing alto"

G7G7
Please...

C6C6            Dm7Dm7 G7G7
Give me a chance to sing melody

C6C6        Bb7Bb7  A7A7  G/BG/B C minorCm
Give me a crack at the tune

A7/C# Am/F#       Fm6Fm6   C6/E    A7A7
 I'm filled with chagrin every time I begin

    D9D9     F/GF/G G7G7 Cadd2Cadd2 E7E7
By the light of the silvery moon


  Amadd2    A minorAm     F9F9   Amadd2  A minorAm     C/DC/D D9D9
Just one little shot at the melody give me a moment to shine

 Am/F# Fm6Fm6 C/EC/E Ab7/Eb Dm7Dm7     F/GF/G G7G7 C majorC  Gm7Gm7
I'm sick of can't help lovin' that man of mine


C7C7   Fadd2  F#dim7F#dim7    C6/G  Bb/CBb/C
 Just look at Oklahoma for example

C7C7   Fadd2  F#dim7F#dim7    C6/G  Bb/CBb/C
 That rousing title number of the show
   Fadd2    F#dim7F#dim7
While everyone is singing

   C6/G Am7Am7
Okla - ho - ma

   Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C6C6
I get skyyyyyyy 'yo oh'

AbAb Ebm/Ab Ab7Ab7


  DbDb    Dbadd9Dbadd9    DbDb    Dbdim7Dbdim7
The hills are alive with the sound of music

D MajorD


D MajorD     A7/D          D MajorD
Three little maids from school are we

A7/D             D MajorD
Pert as a school girl well can be

     A7/D        D MajorD Bm7Bm7  E7sus4E7sus4    E7E7     A augmentedA
Filled to the brim with girlish glee; three little maids from school.

F-G-A-Bb-C
F-G-A-Bb-C


Bb majorBb            G minorGm    C7C7
Touch me it's so easy to leave me

FF C7C7 C majorC FF


C7C7      FF
What mirror where?

C majorC         Em/B B7B7 E minorEm D7D7  G9G9
  Which what where who who who who?

G9G9      G7G7
Such a pretty me

Ab9Ab9      Ab7Ab7
  such a pretty me!

 AbAb
Please!

Db9Db9    Db6Db6      EbM7Ebm7 Ab7Ab7
Pull a few strings for the melody

  Db9Db9     Db6Db6 Cb7Cb7 Bb7Bb7 Ab/C DbmDbm
Don't care if the solo is teeny

Bb/DBb/D Gm7Gm7   GbmGbm     Fm7Fm7     Bb7Bb7
  It would be Nirvana from heaven such manna

 Eb9Eb9      Gb/Ab Ab7Ab7
To sing something other than

DbmDbm
Sweeney


Ab7Ab7 Db9Db9    Db6Db6      EbM7Ebm7 Ab7Ab7
I'm down on my knees for the melody

  Db9Db9      Db6Db6 Db/C BbmBbm  A7A7
I'm begging with all of my might:

  Db/Ab  Eb/Ab Db/Ab  DbDb Ab/C BbmBbm
Just half a bar and let this chorus girl

   F minorFm Ebm7add4
Be a star

Ab7Ab7 Db7Db7
Tonight!
