Verse 1:
Bb       Dm7    Cm7   F7
Say it's only a paper moon
Eb             Bb
Sailing over a cardboard sea
Bb                 Eb
But it wouldn't be make-believe
   Cm7 F7          Bb
If you believed in me
Bb        Dm7    Cm7    F7
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Eb             Bb
Hanging over a muslin tree
Bb                 Eb
But it wouldn't be make-believe
   Cm7 F7          Bb
If you believed in me
 
Chorus:
    Cm7 Dbm7 Dm7
Without your love
       Eb    Dm7    Bb
It's a honky-tonk parade
   Cm7  Dbm7 Dm7
Without your love
       Eb                 Ebm7
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
 

Bb     Dm7        Cm7    F7
It's a barnum and bailey world
Eb               Bb
Just as phony as it can be
Bb                 Eb
But it wouldn't be make-believe
   Cm7 F7         Bb
If you believed in me

Biography

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz vocalist with a vocal range spanning three octaves (D♭3 to D♭6). Often referred to as the “First Lady of Song” and the “Queen of Jazz” or just simply “Lady Ella”, she was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a “horn-like” improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
Fitzgerald was a notable interpreter of the Great American Songbook.
