Why did my sweetie leave me?
Bb      F          Gm
Why did we have to part?
F7               Bb  A7  Ab7  G7
No other sweetie can re-lieve me
C7             F
Of this aching heart.
Bb          F7       Bb
Why can't I have the sunshine?
Bb              D7      Gm
The sunshine instead of gloom?
C7                     F      G
Why must I have these little shadows
Gm7      Cm7   F    F7
Creeping in my room?
Bb
When the night is dark and peaceful,
Bb                       F#
Loving hearts are all in tune,
        F7             Eb           F         Gaug
There's two lonesome people in the whole wide world,

     C7         F7          Bb   
It's me and the man in the moon.
Bb
When the little birds are nesting,
                     F#
And I listen to them croon,
          F7           Eb             F          Gaug
There are two lonesome people in the whole wide world,
     C7         F7          Bb
It's me and the man and the moon.
   Gm                A7
Oh While I lie there counting sheep,
D7                    G7
Through my window he comes to peep,
C7                        F     F7  F
And with each other we're sympa-thi-zing!
Bb
Oh, I'm looking at those happy sweethearts,
                          F#
While they sit around and spoon,
        F7           Eb             F         Gaug
There's two lonesome people in the whole wide world,
     C7         F7          Bb
It's me and the man and the moon.
Bb
Oh, but if my sweetie keeps me waiting,
                                                      F#
You know what I'm gonna do? I'll get another sweetie, soon;
                F7           Eb             F         Gaug
Because there's two lonesome people in the whole wide world,
     C7         F7          Bb
It's me and the man and the moon.
    Bb              
Oh, how I miss his ukulele,
                            F#
And the way he strums those tunes,
               F7           Eb             F         Gaug
'Cause there's two lonesome people in the whole wide world,
     C7         F7          Bb
It's me and the man and the moon.
Gm              A7
When the creepy shadows fall,
D7                 G7      
And the boogie man comes to call,
C7                       F  F7    F
I need two lovable arms aro-o-und me!
Bb
You know, and if my sweetie keeps me waiting,
                                                   F#
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a big balloon, a big one,
         F                  Eb          F7                           Gaug
And I'll travel through the air in that big balloon and have a love affair,
C7       F7         Bb7
With the man in the moon!
