Rags To Riches
Words & Music by Richard Adler & Jerry Ross
Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1953 (#1)
D F#m Bm Bm7/E G G/F# Em7 Em6
I know I'd go from rags to riches
A Em Edim G/B D F#m B7
If you would only say you care;
Cdim B7 Cdim Em B+ Em7 Em6 A
And though my pocket may be empty,
Em7 A Edim D Bm7 A7
I'd be a mil - lion - aire.
D F#m Bm Bm7/E G G/F# Em7 Em6
My clothes may still be torn and tattered,
A Em Edim G/B D F#m B7
But in my heart I'd be a king;
Cdim B7 Cdim Em B+ Em7 Em6 A
Your love is all that ever mattered --
A Em7 Cdim A7
It's ev - 'ry - thing.
A7+5 D9 F#m Bm Bm7/E A Em7 A7
So o - pen your arms and you'll open the door
Em7 Edim A7 G D G D
To ev' - ry treasure that I'm hopin' for;
D9 F#m Bm Bm7/E A Em7 A7 Em7 A7 D
Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ev - er more.
D F#m Bm Bm7/E G G/F# Em7 Em6
Must I forever be a beggar
A Em Edim G/B D F#m B7
Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Cdim B7 Cdim Em B+ Em7 Em6 A
Or will I go from rags to riches?
A Em7 A A7/6 A7 D G D
My fate is up to you.
