The Man I Love — George Gershwin

Intro:
G                Am
When the mellow moon begins to beam
G               Am
Every night I dream a little dream
G                     Am                     Bm      D7
And of course Prince Charming is the theme I heed for me
G             Am
Although I realize as well as you
G             Am
It is seldom that a dream comes true
Bm           C
To me it's clear
G             Am
That he'll appear

Verse 1:
G6
Some day he'll come along
Gm7
The man I love
Dm7 or  Bdim7/F
And he'll be big and strong
E7b9
The man I love
Adim7/Eb
And when he comes my way
D7                 B7+5    E7         A#5  D7
I'll Do my best to make him stay

Verse 2:
G6
He'll look at me and smile
Gm7
I'll understand
Bdim7/F
And in a little while
E7b9
He'll take my hand
Adim7/Eb
And though it seems absurd
D7                 G6  C7   G6   F#7 B7
I know we both won't say a word

Bridge:
Em6        C#dim7     F#7+5
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
              Em6                   B7b9
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Em6        C#dim7     F#7+5
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
            B7b9           Em7  Bb7        Am7 D7
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

Verse 3:
G6
He'll build a little home
Gm7
Just meant for two
Dm7 or  Bdim7/F
From which I'll never roam
E7b9
Who would? Would you?
Adim7/Eb
And so all else above
D7                 G6  C7   G6   A7 D7
I'm waiting for the man I love

(repeat Bridge & Verse 3)
