Recorded by Jo Stafford (with Paul Weston and his Orchestra), 1951 (#1)


 C        C/B      Em       B+
See the pyramids along the Nile, 

F         Fdim          C      A7
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle;

F      Fm                Em       Am
Just remember, darling, all the while,

Dm      Dm7   G7   G+
You belong to me.


C        C/B            Em     B+
See the marketplace in old Algiers,

F        Fdim           C      A7
Send me photographs and souvenirs;

F      Fm             Em      Am
Just remember when a dream appears,

Dm      G      C
You belong to me.


Bridge:

C          C7        F
I'll be so alone without you;

Dm               Dm7      G         G+
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too, and blue.


C        C/B        Em     B+
Fly the ocean in a silver plane,

F       Fdim              C        A7
See the jungle when it's wet with rain;

F      Fm                  Em     Am
Just remember, till you're home again,

Dm     G      C
You belong to me.


(Repeat Bridge)

Fly the ocean in a silver plane,

F       Fdim              C        G#7
See the jungle when it's wet with rain;

F      Fm                  C    Em   A7
Just remember, till you're home a - gain,

Dm Cdim    G  Gdim    C   F  Fm  C
You---  belong---  to me.
