E A A9 A E7 D9 A E7 A Cdim D9 Cdim D9 A
How glad the ma - ny mil - lions of Tim - o - thy's and Wil - liams*
E A D9 Cdim E A
Would be to cap - ture me;
E A A9 A E7 D9 A E7 A Cdim D9 Cdim D9 A
But you had such per - sis - tance you wore down my re - sis - tance --
Fdim C F C G C
I fell, and it was swell.
E7 E7/6 A D9 A D9 E A
You're my big and brave and hand - some Ro - me - o;
D9 E A F#m D9 Bm7-5 E
How I won you I shall nev - er, nev - er know.
E A A9 A E7 D9 A E7 A Cdim D9 Cdim D9 A
It's not that you're at - trac - tive, but oh, my heart grew ac - tive
Edim B7 Edim B7 D9 E
When you came in - to view.
E D9 Edim AM7 Cdim D9 E7/6
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie;
AM7 Cdim D9 E7/6
All the day and night time, hear me sigh.
AM7 F#m Cdim B7
I never had the least no - tion
E7/6 Cdim E7 Cdim B7 B7/F# E7/6 E7
That I could fall with so much e - mo - tion.
AM7 Cdim D9 E7/6
Could you coo, could you care
AM7 Cdim Bm7 Fdim(III)
For a cunning cottage we could share?
Bm7-5 AM7 C#m7-5 Cdim F#7
The world will par - don my mush
Edim D9 Bm7-5 Cdim E7/6 Cdim E7/6 D9 AM7
'Cause I've got a crush, my ba - by, on you.
*Guys singing this song can't pull off the lyrics of Ella's version of the introductory verse unless they're in drag; but fortunately, there's a Frank Sinatra version with alternate words:
How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know
It's not that you're attractive but, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
