Aren't You Glad You're You

Words & Music by Johnny Burke & James Van Heusen
Recorded by Doris Day, 1945, with Les Brown


D     F#m         E7
Every time you're near a rose,

A7(V)  G    D    A7     D     A7
Aren't you glad you've got a nose?

A7(V)   G   D   A7  D     A7  Bm   G
And if the dawn is fresh with dew,

G/F#        E7  Bm7-5  A7
Aren't you glad you're you?


D      F#m    E7
When a meadowlark appears,

A7(V)  G    D    A7     D       A7
Aren't you glad you've got two ears?

A7(V)   G    D    A7  D     A7  Bm   G
And if your heart is sing - in' too,

G/F#        E7   A7     D
Aren't you glad you're you?


Bridge: 

 A      Cdim  Bm7-5      Gdim
You can see a  sum - mer sky,

A7  D9      F#m      B7
Or touch a friendly hand,

    Em7    Edim       A7
Or taste an ap - ple pie --

D           F#7         E7           A7
Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand?


D        F#m     E7
And when you wake up each morn,

A7(V)  G    D    A7   D        A7
Aren't you glad that you were born?

A7(V) G            D   A7  D     A7    Bm   G
Think what you've got the whole day through --

G/F#        E7   A7     D    F#7   B7
Aren't you glad you're you?

G/F#        E7   A7     D
Aren't you glad you're you?
