It's Only A Paper Moon Chords

(ver. 2)
Ella Fitzgerald

This one is tricky because it has fast chord changes that latch onto the melody. 
It can, of course, be transposed into whatever is necessary. Hope you enjoy the standards! 

Again, (-) = minor/flat 


E        Bdim  F#-7 B6 B9
Say, its only a pa-per moon

F#-7    B9     E   B7    E
Sailing over a cardboard sea

       Ab-7    Ab7  A      F#-7
But it wouldn't be make-believe

   B7  F#-7 B7     E   Edim  F#-7
If you believed in me


E         Bdim   F#-7 B6 B9
Yes, it's only a can-vas sky

F#-7    B9     E   B7  E
Hanging over a muslin tree

       Ab-7-5   Ab7  A     F#-7
But it wouldn't be make-believe

    B7 F#-7  B7     E
If you believed in me



   F#-7 A-7  Emaj7
Without your love

B9sus  F#-7  B9       E
It's a honky-tonk parade

   F#-7  A-7 Emaj7
Without your love

B7+5   E   Bm  C#7        F#9      B9+5
It's a melody played in a penny arcade


E      Bdim       F#-7 B6 B9
It's a Barnum and Bailey world

F#-7    B9        E  B7 E
Just as phony as it can be

       Ab-7-5   Ab7 B7     F#-7
But it wouldn't be make-believe

                              {Endings}
    B7 F#-7  B7     E    1. E F#-7 B7   
If you believed in me    2. E
