“The Man I Love” – Billie Holiday
{Chords by Joan’s Genius 2001}
[Intro]
A Bm
When the mellow moon begins to beam
A Bm
Every night I dream a little dream
A Bm C#m E7
And of course Prince Charming is the theme I heed for me
A Bm
Although I realize as well as you
A Bm
It is seldom that a dream comes true
C#m D
To me it's clear
A Bm
That he'll appear
[Verse 1]
A
Some day he'll come along
C#m
The man I love
A7
And he'll be big and strong
F#m
The man I love
Bm
And when he comes my way
C#m A Bm A
I'll do my best to make him stay
[Verse 2]
A
He'll look at me and smile
C#m
I'll understand
A7
And in a little while
F#m
He'll take my hand
Bm
And though it seems absurd
C#m Bm C#m E7
I know we both won't say a word
[Bridge]
C#m F#m
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Bm Dm
Maybe Monday, maybe not
C#m F#m
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Bm A C#m E7
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
[Verse 3]
A
He'll build a little home
C#m
Just meant for two
A7
From which I'll never roam
F#m
Who would? Would you?
Bm
And so all else above
C#m A Bm A
I'm waiting for the man I love
[Bridge]
C#m F#m
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Bm Dm
Maybe Monday, maybe not
C#m F#m
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Bm A C#m E7
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
[Verse 3]
A
He'll build a little home
C#m
Just meant for two
A7
From which I'll never roam
F#m
Who would? Would you?
Bm
And so all else above
C#m A Bm A
I'm waiting for the man I love
