(D major) The (C sharp minor) (F sharp minor) (A major) (B minor) (E major) (E minor)
(D major) drops from the
faucet (C sharp minor) like a nervous heart (C sharpdim) (C major) (B minor)
Beat on my porcelain sink
(E minor) a rhythm avant- garde
(D major) I page through the phone book,
reach (C sharp minor) for my fountain (F sharp minor) pen (C major)
(B minor) Is he comin' in for the holidays
(E minor) to haunt me again?
(D major) I call up the Grand Central,
(F sharp minor) "information please. (F sharpdim) (E minor)
Is that (G major) nickel line on (F sharpdim) time? Oh fine!" (F major)
It's a (E minor) hair- do with a wave (C sharpdim)
(A major) We both for (Aaug) got and for (A major) gave
(F sharpdim) last (G major) time (Fdim)
(F sharpdim) (D minor) (E minor)

(D major) A peddler of pots and pans
(C sharpdim) down on Uni (C sharp minor) on Square (F sharp minor)
(C major) Said (B minor) City Hall wants us
off the street
(E minor) There's no Christmas in the air (A major)
(D major) Some high- brows were waiting
Carna (C sharpdim) tion bright (C sharp minor) lapels (F sharp minor) (F sharpdim)
(B minor) Their big cars line the curbs
(E major) out (E minor) side those grand hotels
(D major) I passed a marquee, (C major) (F sharpdim) Third Avenue
"Ra (E minor) mona" (G major) with Loretta Young (F sharpdim)
and I swun (F major) g myself (E minor) around (A major)

der why (B major) and (E minor) where,
And (G major) what went wrong (F sharpdim)
But this (F major) song don't (E minor) tell no lies (A major)
It was just a quick (D major) good- bye,
