Chords & lyrics

Chord names sit directly above the word where you change.

 
              A7M                    
 Someday he'll come along 
Am7 
 The man I love 
Em/G 
 And he'll be big and strong 
F#7(b13) 
 The man I love 
Bm7(b5) 
 And when he comes my way 
E7(13)       E7(b13)        
  I'll do my best 
   A7M           Gº F#m7 E7(13) 
to make him stay 
 
A7M                    Am7 
 He'll look at me and smile 
I'll understand 
Em/G 
 And in a little while 
F#7(b13) 
 He'll take my hand 
Bm7(b5) 
 And though it seems absurd 
E7(13)     E7(b13) 
 I know we both 
A7M          D7(9)   A7M E/D C#7(b13) 
 won't say a word 
 
F#m7                   G#7(13) C#7(b9) 
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday 
C#7   F#m7   Aº      C#7(b9) 
Maybe Monday    maybe not 
F#m7                     G#7(13)   C#7(b9) 
Still I'm sure to meet him one day 
C#7   F#m7    F#7(b13)       
maybe Tuesday  
       F#m6     E7(13) 
will be my good news day 
 
A7M    
 He'll build a little home 
Am7 
 just meant for two 
Em/G 
 From which I'd never roam 
F#7(b13) 
 Who would, would you? 
Bm7(b5) 
 And so all else above 
E7(13)               A7M D7(9)  A7M   D7(9) 
 I'm waiting for the man  I    love 
 
{solo violino}: 
A7M Am7 Em/G F#7(b13) Bm7(b5) E7(13) A7M Gº F#m7 E7(b13) 
A7M Am7 Em/G F#7(b13) Bm7(b5) E7(13) A7M D7(9) A7M E/D C#7(b13) 
          
{Refrão}
