Mam'selle
Words & Music by Mack Gordon & Edmund Goulding
Recorded by The Pied Pipers, 1947
G/B Am7 Cdim G6 D6 D9 G6
A small ca - fe, Mam' - selle,
G/B Am7 Cdim GM7 C9 Bm7
Our ren - dez - vous, Mam' - selle,
Fdim Am7 D7 Am7
The vi - o - lins were warm and sweet
D9 GM7 FM7 F#7 G
And so were you, Mam' - selle.
G/B Am7 D7-9 G6 D6 D9 G6
And as the night danced by,
G/B Am7 Cdim C9
A kiss be - came a sigh;
F Bm7 G/B Em Am Cm7
Your love - ly eyes seemed to spar - kle just like wine does --
Bm7 G/B Em B+ Em7 A7 Dsus4 Fdim D7
No heart ev - er yearned the way that mine does for you.
G/B Am7 Cdim G6 D6 D9 G6
And yet I know too well
G/B A7 Cdim G6 C9 Bm7
Some day you'll say good - bye.
Gdim Am7 D7
Then vi - o - lins will cry,
Am7 Cdim G G/B Am7 Am7alt Cdim G6
And so will I, Mam' - selle.
This song was definitely a biggie in 1947. It reached the Top 20 in the charts no less than seven times: Art Lund and Frank Sinatra each achieved #1, both Dick Haymes and the Pied Pipers rose to #3, Ray Dorey made it to #7, Dennis Day finished at #8, and Frankie Laine brought up the rear at #14.
