Eb Ab Cm F
[Verse]
Eb Ab Bb
I knew a man once, very long ago
Eb
They say that he was born in Buffalo,
Bb
but I don’t believe it
F Bb
Buffalo was never sufficiently
Eb Bb
gilded and pearled.
E Bb
And this man turned out to be
F
the playboy of the Western world.
Bb Ab Gm Bb
Oh, he was elegant past all dreaming
Ab Bb F Gm
he made seeming seem like the real McCoy.
F Gb Eb Bb F Gm
All the sheiks of Araby, all the shahs of Persia
Bb Cm Bb Gm F
couldn’t hold a candle to this boy.
Gm Bb
When he walked through a room
Eb Bb
it looked as handsome as Napoleon’s tomb,
Cm F
and the Ford he rode
Bb
could have been Mercedes-Benz à la mode.
Eb E
When he took me out I didn’t doubt
Eb Ab
that we were going to the Astor
F
or the Sherry-Netherland.
Eb E
Spring seemed to linger
Eb
in the little bunch of flowers
F
he pressed into my hand -
Bb Gm Bb
Little bunch of flowers, didn’t cost a dime
F Gm Bb
picked them in the park in their prime.
F Bb F
He went around with his heart unfurled:
Gb F
the one and only playboy of the Western world.
Bb F Gm Bb
You could fall in love with everyone you’d meet
F Gm Bb
when you walked with him down the street.

Eb E Bb Gb F
Playboys die young; this one did too,
Eb Cm Ab E Gb
all worn out making dreams come true.
Bb Eb
And the world was grim again, without him again,
Bb Eb Gb
without him
Eb F Gm Bb Ab Gm Bb
For he was elegant past all dreaming;
Ab Bb Gm
he made seeming seem like the real McCoy.
Bb Eb Bb F Gm
All the sheiks of Araby, all the shahs of Persia
F Cm Eb Gb Gm Bb
couldn’t hold a candle to this boy.
E Eb E Ab
When they took him out, oh, I didn’t doubt
Gb Eb
that he was going to Miami
F
or some other wonderland.
