Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
It's solo [Am]time around the Duke Ellington
[Ab]Bandstand right now, and I'm [Bb]sure you'll enjoy
the [Ab]beautiful soprano voice
[C]of Kay Davis as she sings
If [C]I Loved You.
Kay Dav[Bb]is with [Eb]Billy Strayhorn
[Gm]at the pia[D]no.
If [G]I l[Em]oved[Cdim] you,[E][Adim][Daug][G][Eb]
[G]time and again
I would [Gaug]try to say,[G]
[Am]all [C#dim]I want you to kn[G]ow.[Bb][Eb]
[Ab]If I[G] loved[Gdim] you,[Eb]
[D]words wouldn't come in an easy [G]way,
[C]round in cir[C#dim]cles I'd go,[G]
[D]lon[G]gin[Cdim]g[G]
Nothing [Am]to tell you, [C]but afraid an[B]d s[Bb]hy,
[Eb]I'd [G]watch my golden [D]chances
[F]pass [A]me [Cm]by.[Ab]
[G]Soon you'd [Gdim]leave m[C#dim]e,[Eb]
[G]off you would go in the midst of [Am]day,
[G]nev[Am]er, nev[C#dim]er to know[Bm]
[C]how [Bm]I lo[Am]ved yo[D]u if I l[Am]oved[Ab] you[G].[Gm][D][Eb]
[Gm]
[D][C#m][Eb][Am][Gm][Bb][Eb][Bb]
[Eb]
[G]Soon you'd leave [Gdim]me.[Eb]
[G]Hope you would go [D]in the
[Bm]mid st of [Gaug]day[G]
[C]Nev[Am]er, n[Dbdim]ever to know[Bm]
[C]How [Bm]I lo[Am]ved yo[Ab]u
If [G]I loved [G]you
Thank you, Kay Davis.
That was beautiful.
And thank you too,
Billy Strayhorn over there at the piano.
