[F]I know, I know you [F7]belong, to [Bb]somebody [Bbm]new
But [F]tonight you be[C]long to [F]me [C7]
Al[F]though, although we’re a[Eb]part, you’re [Bb]part of my [Bbm]heart
But [F]tonight you be[C]long to [F]me [F7]


When you’re [Bb]down by the [Bbm]stream, how very very sweet it will seem
Once [F]more just to [D7]dream, by the [G7](stop) silvery moonlight [C7]
My honey, I [F]know, I know, with the [F7]dawn
That [Bb]you will be [Bbm]gone, but [F]tonight you be[C]long to [F]me [F7]


When you’re [Bbm]down by the stream, how very very sweet it will seem
Once [F]more just to [D7]dream, by the [G7](stop) silvery moonlight [C7]
My honey, I [F]know, I know, with the [F7]dawn
That [Bb]you will be [Bbm]gone, but [F]tonight you be[C7]long to [F]me
