“The Man I Love” – Billie Holiday
{Chords by Joan’s Genius 2001}
Intro
[A] [Bm]
When the mellow moon begins to beam
[A] [Bm]
Every night I dream a little dream
[A] [Bm] [C#m] [E7]
And of course Prince Charming is the theme I heed for me
[A] [Bm]
Although I realize as well as you
[A] [Bm]
It is seldom that a dream comes true
[C#m] [D]
To me it's clear
[A] [Bm]
That he'll appear
Verse 1
[A]
Some day he'll come along
[C#m]
The man I love
[A7]
And he'll be big and strong
[F#m]
The man I love
[Bm]
And when he comes my way
[C#m] [A] [Bm] [A]
I'll do my best to make him stay
Verse 2
[A]
He'll look at me and smile
[C#m]
I'll understand
[A7]
And in a little while
[F#m]
He'll take my hand
[Bm]
And though it seems absurd
[C#m] [Bm] [C#m] [E7]
I know we both won't say a word
Bridge
[C#m] [F#m]
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
[Bm] [Dm]
Maybe Monday, maybe not
[C#m] [F#m]
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
[Bm] [A] [C#m] [E7]
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
Verse 3
[A]
He'll build a little home
[C#m]
Just meant for two
[A7]
From which I'll never roam
[F#m]
Who would? Would you?
[Bm]
And so all else above
[C#m] [A] [Bm] [A]
I'm waiting for the man I love
Bridge
[C#m] [F#m]
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
[Bm] [Dm]
Maybe Monday, maybe not
[C#m] [F#m]
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
[Bm] [A] [C#m] [E7]
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
Verse 3
[A]
He'll build a little home
[C#m]
Just meant for two
[A7]
From which I'll never roam
[F#m]
Who would? Would you?
[Bm]
And so all else above
[C#m] [A] [Bm] [A]
I'm waiting for the man I love
