LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF
George & Ira Gershwin (1936)
Intro
[Ebmaj7] [Fm7] [Bb7]
Things have come to a pretty pass,
[Ebmaj7] [F7]
our romance is growing flat,
[Cm] [C7]
for you like this and the other,
[F7sus] [F7] [Bb7]
while I go for this and that.
Instrumental
[Am7b5] [D7] [Gm7b5] [C7]
Verse
[Eb] [Cm7]
You say either,
[Fm7] [Bb7]
and I say eyether,
[Eb] [Cm9]
You say neither,
[Fm7] [Bb7]
and I say nyther;
Chorus
[Eb] [Eb7/Db]
Either, eyether,
[Ab/C] [Abm/Cb]
neither, nyther,
[Eb/Bb] [Cm] [F7] [Bb7]
Let's call the whole thing off!
Verse
[Eb] [Cm7]
You like potato,
[Fm7] [Bb7]
and I like potahto,
[Eb] [Cm9]
You like tomato,
[Fm7] [Bb7]
and I like tomahto;
Chorus
[Eb] [Eb7/Db]
Potato, potahto,
[Ab/C] [Abm/Cb]
tomato, tomahto,
[Eb/Bb] [Bb7] [Eb]
Let's call the whole thing off!
Bridge
[Am7b5] [D7]
But oh, if we call
[Gm7] [C7]
the whole thing off,
[Fm7] [Bb7]
then we must part.
[Am7b5] [D7]
And oh, if we ever
[Gm] [C7]
part then that might
[Fm7] [Bb7]
break my heart.
Outro
[Eb] [Cm7]
So if you like pajamas,
[Fm7] [Bb7]
and I like pajahmas,
[Eb] [Cm9]
I'll wear pajamas,
[Fm7] [Bb7]
and give up pajahmas.
[Eb] [Eb7/Db]
For we know we
[Ab/C] [Abm/Cb]
need each other, so
[Eb/Bb] [Bb7]
we better call
[G7] [C7]
the calling off,
[Fm7] [Bb7]
off!
[Eb]
Let's call the whole thing off!
[Fm7] [Bb7]
Let's call the whole thing off.
[Eb]
Let's call the whole thing off.
