              Intro: F Cdim C A7 Dm7 G7 C G7 
 
C                           A7 
Come to me, my melancholy baby 
Dm                   A7    Dm 
 Cuddle up and don't be    blue 
G                                    D7    G7 
All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe 
C                    D7               G     G7 
You know dear, that I'm in love with you 
C                               A7 
 Every cloud must have a silver lining 
  Dm                   A7     Dm 
A wait until the sun shines through 
F               Cdim        C          E7     A7 
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear 
   Dm7             G7         C     G7 
Or else I shall be melancholy too 
C                          A7 
Come to me, my melancholy baby 
Dm                   A7    Dm 
Cuddle up and don't be    blue 
G                                    D7    G7 
All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe 
C                    D7               G      G7 
You know dear, that I'm in love with you 
C                               A7 
 Every cloud must have a silver lining 
  Dm                  A7         Dm 
A wait until the sun shines      through 
F               Cdim          C         E7     A7 
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear 
   Dm7             G7         C   C7 
Or else I shall be melancholy too 
F               Cdim          C         E7     A7 
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear 
   Dm7             G7         C      F   C 
Or else I shall be melancholy too
