Intro: Verse 
 
    Bm7           A7M           D      D9    A7M 
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay 
      Bm7          F#m    Bm5-/7      Cdim      E7 
The glory that was Rome is  of  another day 
           Fdim                   Bm5-/7     A7M      F#m7 
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan 
  D        Bm7      Bm5-/7 Cdim      E7 
I'm going home to my city  by  the bay 
 
Melody 
A  Fdim  Cdim  A7M  Cdim A7M     F#m Bm Bm7+ 
I  left  my  heart            in San Francisco 
           E    Bm5-/7 E7     Cdim     A7M  Fdim  A7M 
High on a hill,           it calls to me 
E7 Bm5-/7      A7M   Bm5-/7 A7M Cdim A7M 
To  be where little cable cars 
 F#m   C#m             G#7 
Climb halfway to the stars 
             A       B7        E7                Fdim       E7 
The morning fog may chill the air, I   don't care 
A  Fdim  Cdim  A7M  Cdim A7M   F#m  Bm  Bm7+ 
My love waits there,        in San Francisco 
Bm7  D9       E7  Bm5-/7  E7      Bm5-/7  F#7  Gdim F#7 
Above the blue               and windy sea; 
F7  F#7      Bm7   Fdim          A       A7M F#m 
When I come home to you, San Francisco 
    F#m/E D  D9        E6  E7/13  A   Cdim  Fdim  A7M 
Your golden sun will shine  on  me
