Intro:         

          D7
There are many many crazy things
          G7       
That will keep me loving you
         E7   Edim
And with your permission
      Am7    D7
May I list a few


                      G
The way you wear your hat
            Edim     Am7
The way you sip your tea
           D7     G7
The memory of all that
        C               E7        A7
No they can't take that away from me.

                        G
The way your smile just beams
            Edim     Am7
The way you sing off key
            D7       G7
The way you haunt my dreams
        C               D7        G
No they can't take that away from me.

       Bm7   E7    Bm7  E7             Bm7   E7      C#m7
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
         Bm7     E7     Bm7      E7     A7  D7
But I'll always, always keep the memory of

                      G
The way you hold your knife
           Edim        Am7
The way we danced till three
            D7         G7
The way you changed my life
        C               D7        G
No they can't take that away from me.
F7       G          G#dim Am7  D7   G
No, they can't take that away, from me...

Don't try hiding

'Cause there isn't any use
F7
You'll start sliding

Say, its only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea

Without your love

It's a melody played in a penny arcade

Lullaby Of Birdland

F       Cm6  Gm7     C7  
A foggy day, in London town
F      Fm6  G7       Gm7 C7
Had me low, had me down
F             Cm7 F7 Bb           Bbm6             
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
F       Am7 D7 G7             Gm7 C7 
British Museum, had lost its charm
           
F              Cm6   Gm7              C7        
How long I wondered, could this thing last
F              Fm6   G7         Gm7 D7          
But the age of miracles, hadn't past
Cm7       F7    Bb       Eb7
For suddenly, I saw you there
             F     C7     F
And through foggy London city,
    C7      Am7 D7 G7 C7    F
The sun was shining everywhere

A Foggy Day

G
A-tisket A-tasket
G
A brown and yellow basket
  D
I send a letter to my mommy
D            G
On the way I dropped it

G
I dropped it
G
I dropped it
G
Yes on the way I dropped it
  D
A little girlie picked it up
D                 G
And put it in her pocket

        C                   Cm
She was truckin on down the avenue
     G            G7
With not a single thing to do
         C                 Cm
She went peck peck pecking all around
G                 D
When she spied it on the ground

G
She took it
G
She took it
G
My little yellow basket
    D                                                G
And if she doesn't bring it back I think that I will die

Out on the plains down near Santa Fe
         A7
I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day    
          D7           
And as he jogged along I heard him singin'
A7
The most peculiar cowboy song
         E7                       D7
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
         A7
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

A                   A7
Now get along, get hep little doggies
A                    A7
Get along, better be on your way
     D7  
Get along, get hep little doggies
    A7
He trucked 'em on down that old fairway

             E7                     D7
Singin' his  Cow-Cow Boogie in the strangest way
         A7
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

A7
Now singin' his cowboy songs, He's just too much
A7                                           D7
He's got a knocked out western accent with a Harlem touch

D7
He was raised on locoweed
              A7
He's what you call a swing' half breed
             E7
Singin' his Cow-Cow Boogie in the strangest way
          A7
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

A7                                        D7    A7
Git, git, git little doggie, better be on your way!

Cow-cow Boogie

# This is not the key Ella Fitzgerald sings it in, which is A major. I transposed it for my own singing convenience.

Missed the Saturday dance

Couldn't bear it without you

But, nevertheless, why bring back old memories?

                Bb
Been invited to dates

G7      Gm7         C7
Awfully lonesome without you
F7                    Bb7
Don't get around much anymore

The breeze just made it breezy,

It Don't Mean A Thing

Intro:


Em7                     A7
Things have come to a pretty pass
    D7         G7
Our romance is growing flat,
C#m7                      F#m
For you like this and the other
E7                      Am7
While I go for this and that,
Em7                     A7
Goodness knows what the end will be
     D7                   G7
Oh I don't know where I'm at
   E7       A7    Bm7      D7       G
It looks as if we two will never be one
C7                G7
Something must be done:


D                  G
You say either and I say either,
D                   G
You say neither and I say neither
D       D7     G        Gdim
Either, either neither, neither
D                    A7    D
Let's call the whole thing off.

D                   G
You like potato and I like potahto
D                   G
You like tomato and I like tomahto
D       D7       G       Gdim
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto.
D                    A7    D
Let's call the whole thing off

    G7  F#m            B7          E7
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
A7           D
Then we must part
    G7  F#m        B7         E7         A7       D7
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

   D                       G
So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas,
D                     G
I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas
D      D7      G               Gdim
For we know we need each other so we

There's a saying old, says that love is blind

Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find”

So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longin' to see

I hope that he, turns out to be

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood

Although he may not be the man some

Girls think of as handsome

To my heart he'll carry the key

You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words

There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
