[Intro] Am7 Dm7(5-) G9 C7M
Fm7
So, if anyone should ask about you
Bb7 Eb7M Cm7
About me one day, Cliff, you have two alternatives
You can either say
F°
"Oh, yes, it's true. We're living in delicious sin." Or
G7
You can simple tell them the truth, and say
G7 Gb7 G7 C6 E7
I met this perfectly marvellous girl
Dm7 G7
In this perfectly wonderful place
C7M
As I lifted a glass
G° F7M A7
To the start of a marvellous year
D° F/C Fm7(5-)
Before you knew she called on the phone
C6/G
Inviting
A7 D7
Next moment I was no longer alone
G4 G9
But sat reciting
C6 E7
Some perfectly beautiful verse
Dm7 G7
In my charming American style
C7M
How I dazzled her senses
G° F7M A7
Was truly no less than a crime
A7 Ab7 A7 Dm7(5-) D7
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
C6 Bm7(5-) Am7
In my perfectly beautiful room
Ab7 A7 D7
And we're living together
Dm7 G7 C6 C7M Bm7(5-) D7
And having a marvellous time
A°
Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out. You're much
F7M
Too distracting
Abº G7
Distracting? No, inspiring!
G7 Gb7 G7 C6 E7
She tells me perfectly marvellous tales
Dm7 G7
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
C7M
Which I'll probably use
G° F7M A7
As a chapter or two in my book
D° F/C
And since my stay in Berlin was to force
Fm7(5-) C6/G
Creation
A7 D7
What luck to fall on a fabulous source
G4 G9
Of stimulation
C6 E7
And perfectly marvellous, too
Dm7 G7
Is her perfect agreement to be
C7M
Just as still as a mouse
G° A° A7
When I'm giving my novel a whirl
A7 Ab7 A7 Dm7(5-) D7
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life
C6 Bm7(5-) Am7
In my perfectly beautiful room
Ab7 A7 D7
With my nearly invisible
Dm7 G7 C7M C6 Bm7(5-) D7
Perfectly marvellous, girl
D7 Db7 D7
I... met... this
G6 B7
Truly remarkable girl
Am7 D7
In this really incredible town
G7M
And she skillfully managed
D° E7
To talk her way in to my room
E7
Oh, Cliff!
A7 Cm7(5-)
I have a terrible feeling I've said
G6/D
A dumb thing
E7 Em7 A7
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed
D7 D9
We'll think of something
( Bb6 D7 Cm7 F7 )
( Bb7M Bb7M F° G9 )
C7 B7 C7 F#m7(5-) F#7
And now this wild unpredictable girl
B6/F# Bbm7(5-) Gm7
And this perfectly beautiful man
Gb7 G7 C7 F7 Bb6
Will be living together and having a marvelous time
