  E    E7       A6              Cdim 
There's a somebody I'm longing to see 
E/G#     Gdim   B7/F#       Fdim C#7 
I hope that he turns out to be 
F#m Bbm5-/7  F#m7  B7    E G#7 A7M  B7 
Someone to watch over me 
E        E7             A6          Cdim 
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood 
E/G#    Gdim   B7/F#    Fdim  C#7 
I know I could always be good      
F#m Bbm5-/7     F#m7  B7   E E7 A  B7 
To one who'll watch over me

E E7  Bm5-/7   A       Am7/13 Am7 
Although  he may not be a man some 
   E9    E    E7/9     E7 
Girls think of as handsome 
  Gdim      Cdim        G#7    C#7 F#7 B7 
To my heart he carries the key        
E          E7                  A6         Cdim 
Won't you tell him, please, to put on some speed 
E/G#    Gdim  B7/F#      Fdim  C#7 
Follow my lead,  oh, how I need 
F#m Bbm5-/7   F#m7  B7    E C#7 A Am7/13 Am7 E 
Someone to watch  over me
