Verse 1

Your

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] beauty is be

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] yond compare

With

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] flaming locks of

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] auburn hair

With

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] ivory skin and

[Em7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] eyes of emerald

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] green

Your

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] smile is like a

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] breath of spring

Your

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] voice is soft like

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] summer rain

And

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] I cannot com-

[Em7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)

Verse 2

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] talks about you

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] in his sleep

And there's

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] nothing I can

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] do to keep

From

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

[Em7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] calls your name, Jo-

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] lene

And

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] I can easily

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] understand

How

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] you could easily

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] take my man

But

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] you don't know

[Em7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] what he means to me, Jo-

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] lene

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] You could have your

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] choice of men

But

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] I could never

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] love again

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] He's the only

[Em7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] one for me, Jo-

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] lene

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Major Third] talk with you

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] happiness de-

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] pends on you

And what-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] ever you de-

[Em7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] cide to do, Jo-

[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] lene
