D D+5 D6 DM7
Make someone happy,
D D+5 D6 DM7
Make just one someone happy;
C C/B Am7 Am7/G C Cdim
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
G G+5 G6 GM7
One smile that cheers you,
Gm7 Gdim Edim A7-9
One face that lights when it nears you,
D D+5 D6 F#m7 Em7 Edim
One girl you're ev' - ry - thing to.
D D+5 D6 DM7
Fame if you win it,
D D+5 D6 DM7
Comes and goes in a minute.
C C/B Am7 Am7/G C Cdim
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
G G+5 G6 GM7
Love is the answer,
Gm7 Gdim Edim A7-9
Someone to love is the answer.
D D6 DM7 B9 Bm Bm7 F#m7 B9
Once you've found her, build your world around her.
Em B+ Em7 A7+5 A7
Make someone hap - py,
DM7 D6 F#m7 B7
Make just one someone happy,
Em7 Em7-5* A7 Gdim A7/6** D D+5 D6 DM7 - D6 D
And you will be hap - py, too.
The chords in the last line can be played a couple of ways, but I like the sound of the Em7-5 being played x6767x and the A7/6 as 004020. Since they are fundamentally the same chord, the Gdim which follows them can be either xx2323 as I typically play it, or a typical Edim 012020.
