(Gigolo And Gigolette)
Words & Music by Al Dubin & Harry Warren, 1933
Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1950
[Am] [Fdim] [E7] [Fdim] [Am]
I walk along the street of sorrow,
[Fdim] [Am] [E7]
The boulevard of broken dreams,
[Fdim] [Bm7-5] [E7] [Fdim] [Bm7-5] [E7]
Where gi - go - lo and gigalette can take a kiss without regret
[Bb9] [Bm7-5] [Am]
So they forget their broken dreams.
[Am] [Fdim] [E7] [Fdim] [Am]
You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow
[Fdim] [Am] [E7]
When you behold your shattered dreams,
[Fdim] [Bm7-5] [E7] [Fdim] [Bm7-5] [E7]
And gi - go - lo and gigalette awake to find their eyes are wet
[Bb9] [Bm7-5] [E7] [Am]
With tears that tell of broken dreams.
Bridge:
[A] [AM7] [A7] [Dm] [Dm7+5] [Dm7]
Here is where you'll always find me,
[Bb9] [Am] [Am7+5] [Am7]
Always walking up and down;
[Am7/G] [D7] [Am7] [D7] [D9] [F7] [E7]
But I left my soul behind me in an old cathedral town.
[Am] [Fdim] [E7] [Fdim] [Am]
The joy that you find here you borrow,
[Fdim] [Am] [E7]
You cannot keep it long it seems;
[Fdim] [Bm7-5] [E7] [Fdim] [Bm7-5] [Fdim] [Bbm]
But gi - go - lo and gigalette still sing a song and dance along
[Bm7-5] [E7] [Am]
Boulevard of broken dreams.
