My Funny Valentine
Words & Music:
Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart
Anyone know the chords to the verse of this song? Johnny Mathis & Ella Fitzgerald both sing it on their covers.
Behold the way our fine feathered-friend his virtue doth
parade.
Thou knowest not, my dim witted friend, the picture Thou hast
made.
Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair conceal Thy good intent.
Thou, noble upright, truthful, sincere and slightly dopey gent,- you are...
CHORUS:
Am Am(M7) Am7 Am6
My funny Valentine, Sweet comic Valentine,
FM7 Dm7 Bm7b5 E7b9
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable. unphotographable.
FM7 Dm7 Bm7b5[4 beats] Fm6[2 beats] G6[2 beats]
Yet youÕre my favorite work of art.
CM7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
Is your figure less than Greek---?
CM7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7
Is your mouth a little weak-------?
CM7 Dm7 Am7 Gm7 F#7
When you open it to speak------------,
FM7 Bm7b5 E7b9
Are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me.
FM7 Bm7b5 E7b9 Am Gm7 B7(no 5)
Stay little Valentine---------, stay!
FM7 Dm7 G7 C6
Each day is Valentine's Day.
