It May Sound Silly

Words & Music by Ivory Joe Hunter
Recorded by The McGuire Sisters, 1955 (#1


A  A7  Edim   D   Em7    A7     D
It may sound silly   for me to say this

A7         D  D9 Em7 A   G   A  Em7  D     F#7   B7
After the way you      broke my    heart,

   Cdim      E7/9 E7      A7     Edim   D6
But I  still love you although we are apart.


A  A7  Edim   D    Em7   A7     D
It may sound silly    to say I miss you;

A7         D  D9 Em7 A    G   A  Em7  D     F#7   B7
I must confess      that this     is true.

  Cdim    E7/9  E7    A7         Edim      D-Em7-A-G  G-A-Em7-D  Edim D7
I want you on - ly, cause no one else will do.


Bridge:

   Cdim     G        A7      Gm      Gm7
The day we quarreled and you left me,

  Gdim      D           A7         D
Before you walked out through the door,

D  F#7      B7       E7  Bm7-5         E7
I wanted to tell you how much I would miss you,

Cdim   G     G/F#     Em7    Em6      A7
But my pride wouldn't let me tell you so.


A  A7  Edim   D    Em7    A7       D
It may sound silly,   but if you phone me

    A7  Em7    D9     Em7  A  G    A  Em7  D    F#7   B7
And ask for - give - ness for do - in' me wrong

  Cdim       E7/9  E7     Bm7-5    A7         Edim    D  
It may sound sil - ly, but I'd be waiting with open arms.
