I'll tell you a ^Eb story
A ^Ab7 bout a girl who came my ^Eb way ^Eb
We upped and ^Ab married
Three ^Ab7 kids, a dog in Sante ^Eb Fe ^Eb
Ab Now she's gone I'm by my ^Ab7 self
I'm gonna ^Eb join
A ^Ab7 sentimental insti ^Eb tution ^Eb
I'm gonna ^Ab pack
Pack all my ^Ab7 little old blues a ^Eb way ^Eb
But ^Ab I didn't stay ^Ab7 left on the shelf ^Ab7
Cm Mrs. Johnson ^Gm from Wisconsin
^Cm She's a widow, ^Gm plain to see
And ^Cm Minnesota ^Gm from Dakota
^Cm Likes the way I ^Gm make her tea
^{no cbord}
Sweet as candy
^Ab7
I'm gonna ^Eb join
A ^Ab7 sentimental insti ^Eb tution ^Eb
No-one to ^Ab stop me
From ^Ab7 playing Benny Goodman all ^Eb day ^Eb
So if you ^Ab want romance
^Ab7 Just step my way
The ^Ab7 band starts to play
^Cm I can thrill her
^Gm With Glenn Miller
^Cm Or a song from
^Gm Louis Armstrong
^Cm With Jim Dorsey
^Gm Or Arty Shaw, we
^Cm Know this magic ^Gm can't go wrong
^{no cbord}
Old and lovely
She's so wealthy
But so ugly
I've gone crazy
Someone help me ^Eb do
