If I Had You

Words & Music by Ted Shapiro, Jimmy Campbell & Reginald Connelly
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1962


A        E7       A    AM7    AM7/9
I could show the world how to smile,

A7     Fdim D9  Dm+7        Dm6
I could be glad all of the while,

A       C#m7-5     F#m          Bm7-5 Cdim  E7  A  F#m  D9 E7
I could change the gray skies to blue  if I had you.


A        E7        A   AM7   AM7/9
I could leave the old days behind

A7   Fdim     D9  Dm+7        Dm6
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind;

A       C#m7-5   F#m     Bm7-5 Cdim  E7   A   D Dm7  A
I could start my life a - new   if I had you.


Bridge:

C#m            C#m7-5         G#7
I could climb a snow-capped mountain,

C#m           C#m7-5      G#7
Sail the mighty o - cean wide;

C#m              C#m7-5   F#7
I could cross the burning desert

Bm7-5         Cdim Fdim E7
  If I had you by   my side.


A       E7    A    AM7      AM7/9
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned, 

A7   Fdim  D9   Dm+7      Dm6
Humble or poor, rich or renowned

A       C#m7-5  F#m        Bm7-5 Cdim  E7  A    D9    A6
There is nothing I couldn't do    if I had you.
