Fadd2
Oh, just
C7sus
look!
It’s
Fadd2
like I’m in a story
C7sus
book.
Fadd2
Oh, it’s
C7sus
bliss!
I
A7/C#
dreamed that it would besome
Dm
what-
Gm7
but
Am
not
C7
like…
Fsus(add2)
this!

Look over there,
some applause!
How very odd
and
Am7
what might they
F/A
be?
Fmaj7/A
Something splendid, maybe?
Bbadd2
Look over here!
Could you bust?
Isn’t it just
bed
Am7
azzling,
dazing,
Dm4
utterly
amazing,
G7sus
gazing ’round, why
G7
you could
Gm7(no5)
cry!
Just
Fadd2
seeing it
F/C
feels so good,
I’d
C7sus
scream if I only
C7
could!
I’d
Bbadd2
hoped and
F/A
wished
and
C7/G
wanted so to
Fadd2
be
here.
Bbadd2
Wished and
F/A
prayed
and
A
planned it to a
Dm
”t.”
Am/C
Bbadd2
Prayed and
F/A
wow,
just
A
look – it’s really
Dm
me
Am/C
here!
Bbadd2
Walking around,
Fmaj7/A
strange as it seems,
Gm7
somewhere beyond my
Bb/C
wild
C7
est
Fsus(add2)
dreams!

Bbadd2
(Look at her there,
looking ’round,
won’t make a sound)
(Just
Am7
keeps on
F/A
gawking
–
Fmaj7/A
weird how she’s not talking!)
(
Bbadd2
Look at her stare…)
(Lucky miss!)
(Chosen like this
to
Am7
stay for dinner.)
(
Dm9
What does he see in her?)
(
G7sus
Hush now, girls – she’s
G7
simply
Gm7(no5)
shy!)
(Hmph!)
(Just
Fadd2
picture the table
F/C
chat!)
(One
C7sus
sided, if even
C7
that!)

I’d
Bbadd2
hoped and
F/A
wished
and
C7/G
wondered what I’d
Fadd2
do
here.
Bbadd2
Wished and
F/A
prayed
and
A
pictured what I’d
Dm
see.
Am/C
Bbadd2
Prayed and
F/A
wow,
my
A
prayers are coming
Dm
true
Am/C
here!
Bbadd2
Look at it all,
Fmaj7/A
look how it gleams,
Gm7
lovely beyond my
Bb/C
wild
C7
est
Fadd2
dreams…
Fmaj7
Look – it’s
Gm7/C
him,
so
Fmaj7/C
handsome and refined and
Gm7/C
slim.
Fmaj7/C
Sweet,
sin
Gm7/C
cere,
mag
A7/C#
nificent from head to
Dm
toe,
Bb
and
Gm7(add4)
oh…
C7
I’d
A/B
hoped and
Eadd2
wished
my
A/B
life would feel en
Eadd2
chanted!
A/B
Wished and
Eadd2
prayed
the
G#7
fates would hear my
C#m
plea.
Aadd2
Prayed and
E/G#
wow,
my
G#7
prayers are more than
C#7
gran
G#m/B
ted!
Aadd2
Look at it all,
Emaj7/G#
hall after hall,
F#m7
perfect as you could
A/B
please
B7
here!
Aadd2
Marvels galore
Emaj7/G#
and even more,
F#m7
gee did I mention
A/B
he’s
B7
here?
Aadd2
And if – who knows? –
Emaj7/G#
all of it goes,
F#m7
past even these ex
B/C#
tremes…

F#m7
Just look at me

someone beyond her

dreams!
