Words & Music by Harold Arlen & Johnny Mercer, 1941
Recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, 1956


E      Cm7-5   E7     A     F#m 
Some - where, some - day,

A7        G/B      Edim       Gdim       D
We'll be close to - geth - er, wait and see;

Dm  Bm7-5   C#7  F#7  D   E7/6  E7   D9   Fdim AM7   F#7   D9  
Oh,  by the way,     this time the dream's on  me.


E7/9    E7  Bm7-5  AM7     F#m 
You'll take   my  hand,

A7         G/B    Edim   Gdim         D
And you'll look at me a - dor - ing - ly;

Dm  Bm7-5         C#7  F#7  D   E7/6  E7   D9   Fdim A   D9  A
But  as  things stand,     this time the dream's on  me.


A   Cdim    C#7       Fdim(III)           F#7/6
It would be fun to be certain that I'm the one,

F#7 Cdim     B7/9    B7       B7/9     B7          Bm7      D9  Bm7-5 E7
To  know that I, at least, supply the shoulder you cry up - on.


E  Cdim Bm7-5   A     F#m 
To see   you  through

Bm7              E7-9      Cdim   AM7   F#m
Till you're everything you want to be;

Bm7 E7-9    C#7  C#7/G#     D   E7/6  E7   D9   Fdim A     
It can't be true,      but this time the dream's on me.

(Instrumental interlude, 2 verses)

(Repeat Bridge)

E  Cdim Bm7-5   A     F#m 
To see   you  through

Bm7              E7-9      Cdim   AM7   F#m
Till you're everything you want to be;

Bm7 E7-9    C#7  C#7/G#     D   E7/6  E7   D9   Cdim B7     
It can't be true,      but this time the dream's on  me.

 D   E7/6  E7   D9   Bm7-5  A
This time the dream's  on   me.
