Its Only A Paper Moon Cifras

by Harold Arlen
 
This one is tricky because it has fast chord changes that latch onto the melody.
It can, of course, be transposed into whatever is necessary. Hope you enjoy the standards!
 
Again, (-) = minor/flat
 
 
E        Bdim  Gb-7 B6 B9
Say, its only a pa-per moon
 
Gb-7    B9     E   B7    E
Sailing over a cardboard sea
 
       Ab-7    Ab7  A      Gb-7
But it wouldn't be make-believe
 
   B7  Gb-7 B7     E   Edim  Gb-7
If you believed in me
 
 
E         Bdim   Gb-7 B6 B9
Yes, it's only a can-vas sky
 
Gb-7    B9     E   B7  E
Hanging over a muslin tree
 
       Ab-7-5   Ab7  A     Gb-7
But it wouldn't be make-believe
 
    B7 Gb-7  B7     E
If you believed in me
 
 
 
   Gb-7 A-7  Emaj7
Without your love
 
B9sus  Gb-7  B9       E
It's a honky-tonk parade
 
   Gb-7  A-7 Emaj7
Without your love
 
B7+5   E   Bm  C#7        Gb9      B9+5
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
 
 
E      Bdim       Gb-7 B6 B9
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
 
Gb-7    B9        E  B7 E
Just as phony as it can be
 
       Ab-7-5   Ab7 B7     Gb-7
But it wouldn't be make-believe
 
                              {Endings}
    B7 Gb-7  B7     E    1. E Gb-7 B7
If you believed in me    2. E
