But Not For Me Tabulatur von George Gershwin (für Baryton)

G7               Gm7       C7      F    Dm7
They're writing songs of love, but not for me.
   G7           Gm7       C7      F  Cm7 F7
A lucky star's above, but not for me.
              Bb          Bbm6   
With love to lead the way
      Eb7         F        
I've found more clouds of grey
          Dm7        G7           Gm7   C7
than any Russain play could guarantee.
  G7             Gm7     C7       F    Dm7
I was a fool to fall and get that way;
      G7             Gm7   C7     F   Cm7 F7   
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day!
    Bb            Bbm6        Eb7    F         Dm7
Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of his kiss,
             G7   C7  F
I guess he's not for me.

      G7            Gm7      C7      F    Dm7
He's knocking on a door, but not for me.
       G7           Gm7       C7      F  Cm7 F7
He'll plan a two by four, but not for me.
              Bb          Bbm6 
I know that love's a game;
      Eb7     F
I'm puzzled, just the same,
          Dm7        G7             Gm7   C7
was I the moth or flame? I'm all at sea.
   G7           Gm7        C7      F    Dm7
It all began so well, but what an end!
     G7             Gm7   C7        F   Cm7 F7
This is the time a feller needs a friend,
             Bb        Bbm6  Eb7      F           Dm7
when ev'ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot,
                G7   C7  F
and there's no knot for me.
