Three Coins In The Fountain

Words & Music by Jule Styne & Sammy Cahn
Recorded by The Four Aces, 1954 (#1)


C              Dm7/G
Three coins in a fountain,

Dm7        G7         CM7
Each one seeking happiness,

C     C/B  Am7  Am7/G     D7
Thrown by three hopeful lovers...

Fdim       G7                C6
Which one will the fountain bless?


C                Dm7/G
Three hearts by fountain,

Dm7         G7             CM7
Each heart longing for its home;

C     C/B   Am7 Am7/G    D7
There they  lie  in the fountain,

Fdim      G7               C6
Somewhere in the heart of Rome.


Bridge:

FM7                         C9 
Which one will the fountain bless?

Fm       Fdim(III)  Dm7     G7
Which one will the fountain bless?


 C                Dm7/G
Three coins in a fountain...

Dm7          G7               CM7
Through the ripples how they shine.

C    C/B Am7 Am7/G     D7
Just one wish will be granted;

Fdim           G7          C6
One heart will wear a Valentine.


Coda:

         F            Dm7   Fdim    C(9)
Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine.
