G7    C7M    C7M/9        B7 
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream 
E7                        A7/13-      A7 
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen 
D7                     G7 
Give him two lips like roses in clover 
C      C/B          Am7      Am7/G           Fdim  G 
And tell him that his lonesome nights are over 
C7M         C7M/9     B7 
Sandman,   I'm so alone 
  E7                    A7/13-   A7 
Don't have nobody to call my own 
  Dm        Dm7             Fdim 
Please turn on your magic beam 
      C  C/B   D9    G7   C          
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream 
 
Interlude: C C/B Am7 Am7/G Fdim G C C/B Am7 Am7/G Fdim G 
 
C7M                                  C7M/9       B7 
Mr. Sandman (male voice: "Yesss?") bring me a dream  
E7                               A7/13-           A7 
Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam 
D7                             G7 
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci  
C    C/B    Am7  Am7/G    Fdim G 
And lots of wavy hair like  Liberace 
       C7M    C7M/9      B7 
Mr Sandman, someone to hold  
E7                    A7/13-          A7 
Would be so peachy before I'm too old 
     Dm        Dm7             Fdim 
So please turn on your magic beam 
     C  C/B  Am7    Am7/G   C       E7     A7/13- 
Mr. Sandman bring me,     please, please, please 
     C  C/B   D9      G7   C 
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
