My Coloring Book
Words & Music by Fred Ebb & John Kander
Recorded by Kitty Kallen, 1962 (#18)
Intro:
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
For those who fancy coloring books (and lots of people do),
A9 B7 A AM7 E
Here's a new one for you.
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
A most unusual coloring book, the kind you never see;
F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7 E
Crayons ready? Very well...begin to color me.
Melody:
E A E B7 E E+7 F#m7
These are the eyes that watched him as he walked away;
B7 E F#m G#m F#m E7
Color them gray.
E A E B7 E E+7 F#m7
This is the heart that thought he would always be true;
B7 E F#m E7
Color it blue.
Bridge 1:
Bm7-5 A AM7 A6
These are the arms that held him and touched him
AM7 A AM7 A6 A G#m7 C#9
Then lost him somehow color them empty now.
C7 A E B7 E E+7 F#m7
This is the dress I wore til she came between
B7 E F#m E7
Color it green.
Bridge 2:
Bm7-5 A AM7 A6 AM7
This is the room I sleep in and walk in and weep in,
A AM7 A6 AM7 A G#m C#9
And hide in that nobody sees . . . color it lonely please.
C7 A E B7 E E+7 F#m7
This is the man, the one I depended upon --
B7 E F#m G#m F#m E
Color him . . . gone.
Thanks and a grateful tip of the proverbial hat to Ronald Hontz for spotting and allowing me to fix a lyric blunder on the intro verse of this song.
