[C7] But there's one [F] thing I [Fmaj7] know
The [Bb] blues they send to [C] meet me won't de[Am]feat me
It won't be long till [D7] happiness steps [Gm7] up to greet me
[Gm7] [C] [Gm7] [C]
[F] Raindrops keep fallin' on my [Fmaj7] head
But [F7] that doesn't mean my eyes will [Bb] soon be turnin' [Am] red

I’m a Believer
The Monkees

[G] I thought love was [D] only true in [G]

fairy tales.
[G] Meant for someone [D] else but not for
[G] me.

[C] That’s the way it [G] seemed.

dreams. [D7]

Now[C] I’m a be[G]liever [C - G]
Not a [G] trace [C - G]

I’m in [G] love, [C]
I’m a be[G]liever!
I couldn’t [F] leave her
If I [D] tried. [D7]

[G] I thought love was [D] more or less a [G]

given thing
[G] Seems the more I [D] gave the less I [G]
got
[C] What’s the use in [G] trying?
[C] All you get is [G] pain.
[C] When I needed [G] sunshine I got [D] rain.

Swinging On A Star Bing Crosby
Hear this song at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rATftJiWdkw (play along with strings detuned 2 semitones)
From: Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook www.scorpex.net/Uke

Intro: [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] (pause)

(Tacet) Would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star
Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar
And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] or would you rather be a [G] mule
A [G] mule is an [C] animal with [G] long funny [C] ears
He [G] kicks up at [C] anything he [G] hears [Em7]
His [A7] back is brawny but his [D] brain is weak
He's [Em7] just plain [A7] stupid with a [D] stub[A7]born [D7] streak
And by the [G] way if you [C] hate to go to [G] school [E7]
[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] mule
(Tacet) Or would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star
Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar
And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] or would you rather be a [G] pig
A [G] pig is an [C] animal with [G] dirt on his [C] face
His [G] shoes are a [C] terrible dis[G]grace [Em7]
He [A7] has no manners when he [D] eats his food
He's [Em7] fat and [A7] lazy and ex[D]treme[A7]ly [D7] rude
But if you [G] don't care a [C] feather or a [G] fig [E7]
[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] pig
(Tacet) Or would you [E7] like to swing on a [A7] star
Carry [D7] moonbeams home in a [G] jar
And be [E7] better off than you [A7] are [D7] or would you rather be a [G] fish
A [G] fish won't do [C] anything but [G] swim in a [C] brook
He [G] can't write his [C] name or read a [G] book [Em7]
To [A7] fool the people is his [D] only thought
And [Em7] though he's [A7] slippery he [D] still [A7] gets [D7]caught
But then if [G] that sort of [C] life is what you [G] wish [E7]
[Am] You may grow [D7] up to be a [G] fish
And all the [E7] monkeys aren't in the [A7] zoo
Every [D7] day you meet quite a [G] few
So you [E7] see it's all up to [A7] you [D7] you can be better than you [E7] are
[Am] You could be [D7] swingin' on a [G] star

[F] She's got a pad down at [Dm] 34th and Vine
[Gm] Sellin' little bottles of

[Dm] I told her that I was a [Gm] flop with chicks
[Dm] I'd been this way since [Gm] 1956
She [F] looked at my palm and she [Dm] made a magic sign
She [Gm] said "What you need is
[A7sus4] Love [A7] Potion Number [Dm] Nine"
Bridge:
[Gm] She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
[E7] She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
[Gm] It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink
[A] I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
[Dm] I didn't know if it was [Gm] day or night
[Dm] I started kissin' every[Gm]thing in sight
But [F] when I kissed the cop down at [Dm] 34th and Vine

And straight [Gm7] into my [Am7] arms you will [Gm7] run [Am7]
When you [Gm7] come my [Am7] heart will be [Gm7] waiting [Am7]
To make [Gm7] sure that you're [Am7] never [Gm7] alone [Am7]
There and[Gm7] then all my [Am7] dreams will come [Gm7] true dear[Am7]
There and [Gm7] then I will [Am7] make you my [Gm7] own [Am7]

Every [Cm7] time I [Gm7]touch you

You just [Cm7] tremble [Gm7] inside
Then I [Cm7] know how [Gm7] much you
Want me [Cm7] that you can't [D] hide
Can [Gm7] I just [Cm7] have one [Gm7] more moon [Cm7] dance
with [Gm7] you [Cm7] my [Gm7] love [Cm7]

You just can't believe the joy I did receive
Am G
When I finally got my leave and I was going home

Oh, I flew through the sky, my convictions could not lie
Am G
For my country I would die and I will see it soon

REPEAT CHORUS

G C Am G
Doo, doo, doo, doo...

VERSE 3:
G C
When I walked through the door, my wife she lay upon the floor

So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
