But Not For Me

E7        A            D         Dm7    A
They're writing songs of love, but not for me;

    B7               E7            D       A
A lucky star's above, but not for me.

         A7       D   Bm7 Bm7/5-   Cdim         F#m
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray

        F#m7 A         Bm7          Bm7/5-       E7   Bm7/5- E7
Than any Russian play could guar - an - tee.

             A       D          Dm7    A
I was a fool to fall and get that way;

                 B7               E7            A
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also lack-a-day!

      A7       D        Cdim             A               B7
Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of her kiss,

                    Bm7/5-   E7  A
I guess she's not       for me.



   E7                   A       D         Dm7     A
She's knocking on a door, but not for me;

                    B7       E7         D        A
She'll plan a two by four, but not for me.

      A7        D   Bm7 Bm7/5-      Cdim     A        F#m
I know that love's a  game; I'm puzzled, just the same-

     F#m7    A                       Bm7 Bm7/5-   E7
Was I a moth or flame?  I'm all at sea.

            A         D           Dm7      A
It all began so well...but what an end!

                 B7        E7                A
This is the time a fellow needs a friend.

             A7     D     Cdim                      A        B7
When ev'ry happy plot ends with a marriage knot

                   Bm7/5-  E7  A
And there's no not   for me.
