Artist/Band: Fitzgerald Ella Tabs
Song: Manhattan Tab
Intro Verse:
D F#m7 Bm7 A7 D A7 G/B A7 F#m7 Bm7-5
Summer journeys to Niag'ra and to other places aggravate all our cares;
Em7 A7-9
We'll save our fares.
D F#m7 Bm7 A7 D A7 G/B A7
I've a cozy little flat in what is known as old Manhattan;
C9 B9 Bb9 Em7 A7-9
We'll settle down right here in town.
Melody:
D Fdim Em7 A7/6 D9
We'll have Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, too;
Fdim Em7 A7 A7+5 D Fdim Em7 A7
It's lovely going through the zoo.
D Fdim Em7 A7/6 Bm7
It's very fancy on old Delancy Street, you know;
G7 F#7 F7 E7 F7 E7 A7 G/B A7
The subway charms us so when balmy breezes blow to and fro.
D Am7 B7 Em7 A7/6 DM7
And tell me what street compares with Mott Sreet in July?
F3m7 Fdim Em7 G/B A7+5 F#m7
Sweet pushcarts gently gli - ding by.
B7 Fdim B7 Em7 G/B Gdim Edim F#m Bm7 E9
The great big city's a wond'rous toy just made for a girl and boy.
D Fdim Em7 A7/6 A7-9 D6 Fdim Em7 A7
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.
We'll go to Yonkers, where true love conquers in the wilds,
And starve together, Dear, in Childs'.
We'll go to Coney and eat baloney on a roll;
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole, soul to soul.
And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show, they say;
We both may see it close someday.
The city's clamour can never spoil the dreams of a boy and goil;
D Fdim Em7 A7/6 A7-9 D6 Fdim Em7 A7-9 D6
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.
