I Didn't Know About You
Words & Music by Bob Russell & Duke Ellington
Recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, 1942
Em7/9 Edim DM7 D6
I ran around with my own little crowd,
G7 F#7 Gdim B7
The usual laughs, not often, but loud;
E7/9 E7 Em7
And in the world that I knew,
A6/7/9 A7 F#7 B7 E7/9 A7
I didn't know about you.
Em7/9 Edim DM7 D6
Chasing after the ring on the mer - ry - go - round,
G7 F#7 Gdim B7
Just taking my fun where it could be found,
E7/9 E7 Em7
And yet, what else could I do?
A6/7/9 A7 D G Gdim D DM7
I didn't know about you.
Bridge:
D7 Am7 D9
Darling, now I know
Am7 D9 Am7 G6 G/B Am7 Am7-5 G6 G5
I had the loneliest yesterday everyday;
Gm7 C7
In your arms,
Gm7 C7 F Fdim E7
I know for once in my life I'm liv - ing.
Em7/9 Edim DM7 D6
Had a good time ev'ry time I went out;
G7 F#7 Gdim B7
Romance was a thing that I kidded about.
E7/9 E7 E7alt E7 Em7 A6/7/9 A7 F#7 B7
How could I know about love? I didn't know about you.
E7/9 E7 E7alt E7 A A7+5 A-9 D G D
How could I know about love? I didn't know about you.
