D6 G   Em7 D  Cdim G6 G/F# Em6 A7
I want to  be      no one  but me
         
Em7      A7         Em7      Edim         D9 G6 D7
I am in love with a lady who likes me the way I am
 
G G/F#    E7-9    D9  F#7       B7
I have my faults; she likes my faults.

E7/9    Cdim  E7/9     A9        Cdim  A9
I'm not very bright -- she's not very bright --


D6   G    Em7    D    Cdim  G6    G/F# Em6 A7
She thinks I'm grand      that's grand for me.

Em7         A7         G/B     Cdim         
She may be wrong but if we get along,

  Am        Am7        D9  D7/9
"What do we care?" say we
 
G6      G5     Gdim    D      F#7     B7   E7
Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea

 D        Cdim           A9                E7-9
When I am with her I am glad the boy who's with her

   D6  F#m    G  A7-9 D6
Is no - body else but me.
