The Man I Love


“The Man I Love” – Billie Holiday {Chords by Joan’s Genius 2001} Intro: A Bm When the mellow moon begins to beam A Bm Every night I dream a little dream A Bm C#m E7 And of course Prince Charming is the theme I heed for me A Bm Although I realize as well as you A Bm It is seldom that a dream comes true C#m D To me it's clear A Bm That he'll appear Verse 1: A Some day he'll come along C#m The man I love A7 And he'll be big and strong F#m The man I love Bm And when he comes my way C#m A Bm A I'll do my best to make him stay Verse 2: A He'll look at me and smile C#m I'll understand A7 And in a little while F#m He'll take my hand Bm And though it seems absurd C#m Bm C#m E7 I know we both won't say a word Bridge: C#m F#m Maybe I shall meet him Sunday Bm Dm Maybe Monday, maybe not C#m F#m Still I'm sure to meet him one day Bm A C#m E7 Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day Verse 3: A He'll build a little home C#m Just meant for two A7 From which I'll never roam F#m Who would? Would you? Bm And so all else above C#m A Bm A I'm waiting for the man I love (repeat Bridge & Verse 3)
