I wasn't satisfied with the two existing versions of this, so I decided to give it a try. Chords are based on Ella's quite well known 1933 version of this wonderful standard featuring the vocal quartet "Ink Spots". Key: Bb Verse (00:09) Bbmaj7 Bdim Cm7 F9 Say it's only a paper moon Cm7 F9 Bbmaj7 (F9) hanging over a cardboard sea Bb7 Eb6 Edim but it wouldn't be make-believe F9 Bbmaj7 F9 if you believed in me same for next Verse Yes, its only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree but it would be make believe if you believed in me Chorus (00:40) Eb6 Edim B/F Without your love Cm7 F7 Cmaj7 it's a honky-tonk parade Eb6 Edim B/F G7 without your love Cm7 F7 it's a melody played in the penny arcade Verse (0:56) same as first verse It's a barnum and bailey world just as phoney as it can be but it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me (Ink Spots) Say it's only a paper moon hanging over a cardboard sea but it wouldnt be make-believe if you believed in me Yes it's only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree but it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me Chorus (1:43) as before, repeat twice Possible chord voicings: You can always make up your own, depending on what effect you're aiming for & what instruments you're plaing with. These are just some suggestions.
