Intro:  | A - Edim | E7 | AM7 - Am7-5 | Bm7 - E7-9 |

A             F          A     F#m    Bm7      E7
I'll be in my room alone ev'ry post meridian,

     A              E7              F#m     B7     E7  D   Gm  E7
And I'll be with my diary, and that book by Mister Gideon.



Melody:

A   E7+5 A    F#  Bm    F#    Bm7       E7+5
Bye bye, Baby,       remember you're my baby

 A   Gdim   A       F#m     B7    C#m7 Fdim(III) B7
When they give you      the eye;

E7   D   E7  A   C#7     F#m   A7         D   F#7     Bm
Although I know that you care, won't you write and declare

Bm7      E7 Cdim      E7   E+5      A   Cdim       D     Dm  E7
That though  on the loose, you are still on the square?

A   E7+5  A      F# Bm     F#       Bm    E7+5
I'll be gloomy,      but send that rainbow to me --

A   Fdim A      F#      G#m7  C#7
Then my shadows   will fly.

                  F#m Gdim    Em7  A7  D
Though you'll be gone for a while,

  Fdim  D   D6      Cdim
I know that I'll be smiling

 A  Fdim Bm7-5 E7      A   F#m  Bm7-5  E7
With my  baby  by and by.



A   E7+5 A    F#  Bm    F#    Bm7       E7+5
Bye bye, Baby,       remember you're my baby

 A   Gdim   A       F#m     B7    C#m7 Fdim(III) B7
When they give you      the eye;

 E7   D  E7  A   C#7     F#m  A7       D   F#7     Bm
And just to show that I care, I will write and declare

Bm7   E7 Cdim      E7   E+5      A   Cdim       D     Dm  E7
That I'm  on the loose, but I'll stay on the square.

A   E7+5  A     F# Bm     F#     Bm        E7+5
I'll be lonely,       but even though I'm lonely,

A    Fdim A     F#   G#m7  C#7
There'll be no other guy.

               F#m Gdim    Em7  A7  D
Though I'll be gone for a while,

  Fdim  D   D6      Cdim
I know that I'll be smiling

 A  Fdim Bm7-5 E7      A   D6  A
With my  baby  by and by.
