D        Fdim     Em7     A7 D      Fdim      Em7      A7 
Have you seen the well to do up and down Park Avenue 
F       Fdim    C#7     C7   F         Fdim  C#7     C7 
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air 
A6   Gdim    Bm5-/7  E7      A6    Gdim     Bm5-/7    E7 
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars 
F#m      F#m7  B7   C7              A7/9-   A7/13- A7 
Spending every dime for a wonderful time 
Dm         A7      Dm        Gdim       Dm    A7 
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to 
    Dm       Gdim       A7     Bm5-/7 A7                Dm   F#m Bb9 A7 
Why don't you go where fashion sits?    Puttin' on the Ritz 
Dm         A7       Dm    Gdim       Dm           A7 
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes 
    Dm            Gdim    A7   Bm5-/7 A7                 Dm   Bb D7 
And cutaway coat, perfect fits,         puttin' on the Ritz 
Bridge one 
Gm       A7     Fdim  A7    Dm 
Strolling up the avenue so happy 
F           Dm7     Gm7     C7      F          Bb9   A9 
All dressed up just like an English chappie very snappy 
Dm         A7        Dm    Gdim    Dm        A7 
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks 
    Dm   Gdim    A7        Bm5-/7 A7                  Dm  Bb D7 
Or 'umber-ellas' in their mitts,    puttin' on the Ritz 

Bridge two: 
Gm         A7     Fdim     A7     Dm 
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper 
F      Dm7     Gm7       C7   F        Bb9   A9 
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper) 
Dm         A7       Dm     Gdim    Dm     A7 
You'll declare it's simply topping to be there  
    Dm        Gdim     A7      Bm5-/7  A7                 
And hear them swapping smart tidbits   
                Dm     Bb9 A7/9- 
Puttin' on the Ritz 
A9             Dm   Bb9 A7/9-  A9              Dm  Gm6 D6/9 
Puttin' on the Ritz,          puttin' on the Ritz
