Say Its Only A Paper Moon

I wasn’t satisfied with the two existing versions of this so I decided to give it a try. Chords are based on Ella’s quite well known 1933 version of this wonderful standard featuring the vocal quartet "Ink Spots". Key: Bb Verse (00:09) Say it’s only a paper moon hanging over a cardboard sea Bb7                Eb6   Edim but it wouldn’t be make-believe if you believed in me        same for next Verse Yes its only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree but it would be make believe if you believed in me Chorus (00:40) Without your love it’s a honky-tonk parade without your love    it’s a melody played in the penny arcade Verse (0:56) same as first verse It’s a barnum and bailey world just as phoney as it can be but it wouldn’t be make-believe if you believed in me        (Ink Spots) Say it’s only a paper moon hanging over a cardboard sea but it wouldnt be make-believe if you believed in me        Yes it’s only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree but it wouldn’t be make-believe if you believed in me        Chorus (1:43) as before repeat twice Possible chord voicings: You can always make up your own depending on what effect you’re aiming for & what instruments you’re plaing with. These are just some suggestions.
