Verse 1:

F                 Db7
 Come, sweetheart mine,
F             Db7
Don't sit and pine
F                         Fadd9
Tell me of the cares that make you
F      Fdim C7
feel so blue
Gm          Gbdim
What have I done,
Gm         Gbdim
 Answer me hun
G7                         Gm      C7
Have I ever said an unkind word to you?

F          Db7
My love is true,
F            Db7
And just for you
F                 Fadd9
I'd do almost any-thing
   F  FdimC7
At an  y time

G7
Dear when you sigh,
C           A7
Or when you cry
Dm                 G7
Something seems to grip this very
Gm       Db7 C7
heart of mine

Chorus:

F                        Eb7D7
Come to me my melancholy ba by
Gm            D7       Gm   D7Gm
Cuddle up and don't be blue
C7                                G7     C7
All your fears are foolish fancy,  may - bes
F         Bdim
 You know  dear,that
G7     Gm7       C7  GbdimC7
I'm in love with you

F                              Eb7 D7
Every cloud must have a silver lin-ing
Gm             D7         Gm     D7Gm
Wait until the sun shines through
Bb             Bdim
Smile my honey dear,
        F              D7
While I kiss away each tear
   Gm              C7         F   FdimC7
Or else I shall be melancholy too.

Verse 2:

F            Db7
Birds in the trees,
F          Db7
Whispering breeze
F                  Fadd9
Should not fail to lull you into
F     Fdim C7
peace  ful dreams.
Gm         Gbdim
So tell me why,
Gm        Gbdim
sadly you sigh
G7
Sitting at the window
          Gm        C7
Where the pale moon beams

F             Db7
You shouldn't grieve,
F        Db7
Try to believe,
F              Fadd9
Life is always sunshine
         F     Fdim  C7
When the heart beats true

G7
Be of good cheer,
C                  A7
Smile through your tears
Dm                 G7
When you're sad it makes me feel
    Gm   Db7 C7
The same  as you
