It's Only A Paper Moon
Billy Rose, E.Y. Harburg & Harold Arlen

. . . Say, it's only a paper moon . . . . . sailing over a cardboard sea,
C. . . . . . . . Gdim . . . . . Dm . . . . F. . . . . . . G . G64 G75. . . . C C6 C F C
. . . But it wouldn't 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.
. . . . Dm . . D#m . Em . . . . . . Dm7 . G7 . . . .C
Without . . your . . love, it's a honky tonk parade
. . . . Dm . . D#m . Em . . . . . . . . . . C . . . . . A7 . . . . . . . Dm . . . G7
Without . . your . . love . . . . it's a melody played at a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum And Bailey world, just as phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe, if you believed in me.
