Bei Mir Bist Du Schon(Chords)

	        
Intro: Verse 

B7         Em         Am             Cdim         B7 
Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some 
 Cdim     Em       Am         Cdim         B7 
Until I first met you, I was lonesome 
    Cdim      Em      B5+             A           Am7 
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light 
         Em         Am           B7 
And this old world seemed new to me 
B7            Em        Am     Cdim       B7 
You're really swell, I have to admit you 
Cdim       Em       Am         Cdim      B7 
Deserve expressions that really fit you 
   Cdim       Em      B5+             A           Am7 
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain 
         B7        Cdim       B7 
All the things that you do to me 

Melody 
B7  Em  Cdim     Em   Am7       Em Cdim Em B5+

Em7   B7                                                Em 
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand. 
B7  Em  Cdim    Em      Am7   Em  Cdim Em B5+ 
Bei mir bist du schön,      again I'll explain 
Em7   B7                                      Em 
It means you're the fairest in the land 

Bridge 
    B5+        Am      Am7+ 
I could say, 'Bella, bella'  
Am7  Em 
Even say 'voonderbar' 
       B5+      Am  Am7+     Cdim        B7 
Each language only helps me tell you 
          Fdim      B7 
How grand you are 
B7   Em   Cdim   Em   Am7    Em  Cdim    Em B5+

Bei mir bist du schön 
       Am7      B7     Em      Cdim   Am7       B7 
You've heard it all before but let me try to explain 

Cdim B7  Cdim     B7         Cdim         Em    B5+ Am7 B7 
Bei mir  bist du schön means that you're grand 
B7  Em Cdim     Em    
Bei mir bist du schön  
     Am7     B7     Em      Cdim     Am7     B7 
It's such an old refrain and yet I should explain 
Cdim B7  Cdim  B7     Cdim       Em Am7 Em  
 It means I am begging for your hand 
    B5+        Am      Am7+ 
I could say, 'Bella, bella'  
Am7  Em 
Even say 'voonderbar' 
       B5+      Am  Am7+     Cdim        B7 
Each language only helps me tell you 
          Fdim      B7 
How grand you are. 
B7   Em   Cdim   Em   Am7    Em  Cdim    Em B5+ 
I've tried to explain   'bei mir bist du schön' 
Em7  B7                                 Em 
So kiss me and say you understand
